I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 36 him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 38 for a 17-year-old. Then, on Day three, as we were 39 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 40 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized （著迷）. He couldn’t stop 41 . Later he said 42. “I wish I could speak French.” I was 43－this from a boy who hated and 44 French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he 45 Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活潑起來）.
46 , the moment that really took 47 breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was 48 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 49 . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and 50 to become part of the leadership of the 51 .
Learning her story, Barrett was as 52 as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a 53 of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 54 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This 55 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.

小題1:D.本題需要從全文角度才能更好的做出判斷.首先,作者要帶孩子去的地方是偏僻窮困的地方,再從Barrett的表現(xiàn)和最后一段作者認(rèn)為完全達到了此行的目的----促進了孩子的成長.所以應(yīng)該是教育孩子.
小題2:A.rough:艱苦的, 與tiring并列,修飾 trip,從上下文中能看出這個意思
小題3:B.too much(for someone): (對于某人而言)很不合適, 做不了, 受不了.
小題4:C. 上文已經(jīng)說明了這次旅行會很幸苦, 已經(jīng)到了第三天, 不可能再run了; B也不合適, 因為這時Barrett回頭笑著說很幸苦, 所以應(yīng)該是在進行中, 不是向下看的時候. 而move和climb相比,后者更強調(diào)費盡,努力地;所以climbing更符合此時的情景.
小題5:A. too在這里是程度副詞, 這件衣服穿在小姑娘身上太大了.
小題6:D. 從上下文能看出Barrett看到這個小姑娘在他身邊很著迷的樣子, 不禁笑了, 想與她交流. 如果是其他選項, 下文中就應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)喊叫或者開玩笑的具體內(nèi)容才符合文章的邏輯,所以其他選項不合適. 
小題7:B.一方面是上文中體現(xiàn)他想與小姑娘交流, 還有從本段最后可以看出Barrett很討厭學(xué)習(xí)法語,可以看出應(yīng)該是遺憾的說: 我希望我會說法語.
小題8:D.從下文hated…throughout school可看出Barrett變化之大,所以作者這時的心情應(yīng)該是驚訝.
小題9:C. hated是信息詞，and表示并列或者遞進, 所以A, B 都不對. Call off指取消,和時間狀語throughout school不搭配.
小題10:A. 從本句kept asking…和下句的he blossomed…可知應(yīng)該選A. befriend對待…如朋友,協(xié)助, 照顧; disregard不理, 忽視; avoid避免; recognize認(rèn)出.
小題11:D. 文章到這里進入本文的最高潮: 真正讓作者很吃驚 (take one’s breath away) 的發(fā)生在深山中的一個小村子. 所以應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折.
小題12:B. 在倒數(shù)第二段作者專門交待了Barrett對此事的感受 (Barrett was as…as I), 所以這里只是講”我”的感受.
小題13:B. 其他選項的含義放在這里都不合適, 只能是為一篇文章而采訪她.
小題14:C從下一句中的though determination, 可以知道the woman villager意志堅強strong in mind.
小題15:B. struggle: to try extremely hard to achieve something, even though it is very difficult. 所以符合上文的strong in mind/through determination.
小題16:A.此段的第一句話交待了事件發(fā)生的地點是in village.
小題17:D. touched: 感動.
小題18: A. combination: 結(jié)合, 混合; composition: (某物的) 組成物質(zhì)或者成分, (人工的) 合成物; connection: 連接.
小題19:B. stay behind: to remain in a place rather than leave留下來.
小題20:D. 首尾呼應(yīng)從第一段的句子：told Barrett this trip would be tiring and 37.可知填trip。

According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ’good job’ or ’nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages (強項) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影響) if it is given equally to all students.
"It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反饋) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."
小題1:According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.
A．a(chǎn)lways look for praise
B．increase self-confidence
C．become strong
D．do better in their studies
小題2: In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.
A．make them live more happily
B．let them do more difficult work
C．help them do better in school
D．encourage them to improve
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A．Praise makes children become successful.
B．Children don’t know what they’re really good at.
C．The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D．Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children’s strengths.
小題4: What is the last paragraph about?
A．It’s important to have the habit of praising children.
B．Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C．We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D．What children with high self-confidence are like.

Today's parents miss the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found.
Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to juggle work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.
The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did — just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day.
And 64 percent said this was because they felt they 'had' to go out to work, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said they were under constant pressure to be the 'perfect mother', the report found.
Other findings showed social network and parenting website were important in proving help and support among female communities
Kate Fox, of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble, said: "With increasing pressure on mothers to work a 'double shift' — to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever."
It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialized nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a "primary activity".
Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their children in the hands of nurseries or child minders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk.
The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them — even if their husband is not in work.
A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child — 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work.
Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.
小題1:What is the main idea of the passage?  
A．More and more modern mothers go out to work to support the families.
B．Today's parents would rather leave their children in the hands of nurseries.
C．Today's parents have less time to take care of their children.
D．To keep the balance of work and family is not an easy thing.
小題2:What does the underlined word "juggle" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?  
A．keep objects in the air
B．do many things at once
C．change things
D．organize spending
小題3:According to Kate Fox,         .   
A．people should learn to relax by using the network
B．network plays an important role in society
C．mothers should make use of the network to gain support
D．it is impossible for woman to become the "double shift"
小題4:Today's mothers lack the time to company their children mainly because         .   
A．they have no choice but go to work
B．they are under constant pressure
C．they want to be "the perfect mother"
D．they have less time to themselves
小題5: Which of the following statements is True?    
A．Mothers usually spend three hours looking after their children a day.

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.
Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. 
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
小題1:The second paragraph tells readers that ______.
A．children should be trained to be more independent
B．a(chǎn)dults should tell children some safety rules firstly
C．a(chǎn)dults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park
D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
小題2:Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.
B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.
C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.
D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.
小題3:If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ______.
A．tell him to be relaxedB．make him share your interest
C．give up the present activityD．encourage him to be brave
小題4:We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ______.
A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
小題5:What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?
A．等待B．發(fā)現(xiàn)C．進入D．離開

The Barbie doll first appeared at the toy fair in New York in 1959. Its creator was Ruth Handler, an American businesswoman. She and her husband Elliott along with Harold Matt Matson started the toy company Mattel. She based the design of the new doll on a German doll named Bild Lilli and named her after their daughter Barbara.
The first Barbie wore a black and white swimsuit and had her hair in a ponytail(馬尾辮). She looked very grown-up. But any concerns that parents would not want to buy it for little girls were soon proved wrong.
Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls in the first year at a price of three dollars. Today, a fifty-year-old Barbie in good condition might cost more than 27,000 dollars.
Barbie dolls have represented 50 different nationalities and are sold in 150 countries. Mattel says 90% of girls in the United States between the ages of three and ten own at least one Barbie doll. It says girls between the ages of three and six own an average of about 12.
Barbie also faced her share of critics. A well-known example was when women’s education groups objected to a talking Barbie doll that declared, among other things, “Math class is tough!” Mattel agreed to change it. Saudi Arabia has banned Barbie dolls. And a lawmaker in the American state of West Virginia would like to do the same. Last month, he proposed banning sales of Barbie and other dolls that influence girls to put too much importance on physical beauty.
Some people say Barbie is an unhealthy role model for young girls. Robin Gerber disagrees. She wrote a book about Barbie. She points out dolls like scientist Barbie and race car driver Barbie. She says people who criticize Barbie should tell girls the story of the businesswoman who created her. She says Ruth Handler wanted the dolls to help girls think about what they wanted to do with their lives.
小題1:The first Barbie doll might not be popular among little girls because _______.
A．her hairstyle was out of fashion
B．her appearance looked much too mature
C．her way of dressing was against the tradition
D．physical beauty wasn’t thought to be important
小題2:From the passage we know that Mattel ________.
A．is one of the world’s largest toy companies
B．is the director of an American toy company
C．was the woman who originally created Barbie
D．was a salesman who was good at selling Barbie dolls
小題3:Barbie dolls are criticized partly because they make girls ________.
A．pay too much attention to their physical beauty
B．neglect their schoolwork and inner beauty
C．prefer physical beauty to inner beauty
D．waste too much time and money on clothes
小題4:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that in her book Robin Gerber ________.
A．shows Barbie dolls have a negative influence on girls
B．praises a successful person who sells Barbie dolls
C．expresses her own favorable opinion about Barbie
D．a(chǎn)rgues for banning the sales of Barbie dolls

Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(國家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路線).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中國消費者協(xié)會）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保險).
小題1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
A．Choosing the best travel agent.
B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
C．Traveling to Europe.
D．Cost.
小題3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
D．People complained more than they had planned to.
小題4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.
