ALi Chunlin, a farmer, used to live in a poor village in the north of Shaanxi. In the 1980s, he went to Shenzhen to make a living with his wife.Years later, they became rich and returned to their hometown. To their surprise, the land around the village was covered with sand. That made them feel sad. After thinking carefully, Li and his wife made up their minds to fight against the sands.They bought thousands of young trees and planted them around the village. However, only a few survived, because the trees were not regularly watered. But how to get water was a big problem. They dug a well but it became dry soon. Then they asked a drilling team to dig a deep well. Clear water appeared, but their money was used up. They couldn’t aff ord to buy young trees. They went to several banks for help but got nothing. Finally they turned to a friend who was also from the village. The friend had a big business. Learning what they were doing, their friend was moved and decided to do something for their village too. So he offered the money they needed.With the money, they bought trees and had them planted. They looked after the trees as if they were their own children. After some time, green leaves came out. When the villagers saw the changes, some started to join Li and his wife in the fight. Then more joined. Years went by. And now larger areas around the village are covered with green trees.21. When Li and his wife returned from Shenzhen, they were sad because __________ .A. the land around the village was covered with sand.B. they didn’t have enough money to buy trees.C. their village was not as beautiful as Shenzhen.D. they didn’t have enough water to drink.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Li and his wife dug a well with enough water themselves.B. Li and his wife got much money from the banks.C. The villagers didn’t join Li and his wife in the fight.D. Their friend gave Li and his wife some money to buy trees.23. This passage is mainly about how Li and his wife __________.A. tried different ways to find waterB. made money in Shenzhen.C. fought against the sands.D. bought and planted trees.BIn the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员）at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. 1 found the boy under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls . I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: “'Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.24. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp，he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter25. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Three timesD. Many times26. Which is the correct order about the story?①The boy danced joyfully with two girls.②The boy went back to school and made new friends.③The boy refused to join in the activities.④The boy's mother made a phone call to the writer.A. ①②③④B.②③①④C.③①②④D.④③②①27.From Paragraph 4，we can infer that Tommy's mother was very_______to the writer.A. thankfulB. helpfulC. faithfulD. harmfulCWhen an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia nicknamed Will Smith “The Prince”, she didn’t know how famous that nickname would become. Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵）.Will was interested in music, especially rap music. He began rapping when he was 12 years old. Although he soon became good enough to make a recording, Will hesitated to do so. At that time, rap music featured a lot of violence. Will was against violence in songs. He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.As he grew older, Will’s charm and sense of humor impressed many people. He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧), The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The show was successful, and Will lived up to his nickname. Will’s acting career led to starring roles in majormotion pictures. Independence Day which starred Will Smith, earned more money than any movie in 1996. The following year, Men in Black earned the most money in 1997. The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist. He began mixing his interests, music and acting. His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award, while his next film, Enemy of the State, thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career, music is still his first love. He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting. Although Will’ s sense of humor is evident in his music, he often writes songs with meaning and purpose. Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son. Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older. Family and friends are very important to Will. They are what encourage him to continue in his career.28. Will Smith was given the nickname “The Prince” at school because_________.A. he was born in a royal familyB. he was generous and handsomeC. his way of talking was charmingD. he was more clever than any other student29. What was Will Smith’s attitude towards the violence in rap music?A. Positive.B. Objective.C. Uninterested.D. Opposed30. Will Smith became famous as a recording artist because of his performance in________. .A. Men in BlackB. Enemy of the StateC. Independence DayD. Just the Two of Us31. What can we learn about Will Smith from the last paragraph?A. He prefers acting to singing.B. He owes his success to his young son.C. He is grateful to his family and friends.D. He finds acting is the most challenging.DMany kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry(洗好的东西) away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s im portant for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you @ timeforkids, com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.32. How does the author start the passage?A. By presenting some facts.B. By listing some evidence.C. By comparing different views.D. By stating his own experiences.33. According to Susie Walton,_________.A. kids should be rewarded for doing choresB. parents decide what kids can do for the familyC. kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores34. Paragraph 3 is mainly about__________.A. Chris Bergman’s opinion on raising kidsB. main reasons why kids need encouragementC. how to motivate kids to try new applicationsD. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores35. The purpose of writing the text is to_________.A. invite readers to express their opinionsB. inform readers of two different opinionsC. call on readers to reflect on their behaviorD. present the author’s viewpoint about parenting第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,”Robinson said.36. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________.A.children will get fatter if they eat too muchB.children will get thinner if they eat lessC.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV37.

Google posted the ne w options on May 19，the same day that Amazon celebrated a milestone of selling more e-books than print books. Google includes a feature that Amazo n hasn't managed to offer yet: readers can now translate pass ages of a text while they are reading an e-book in Google books.The Google e-Bookstore has books in different languages. There are even magazines to read in the Google e-Bookstore. Not all of the books can be downloaded to an e-reader, but they can all be read online. The new Google tools will work when you are reading Google e-books in a web browser.On May 19, 2011, Google Books software engineer Derek Lei explained in an article that " all of the tools have the same sta rting point. When you select a word or a passage, you can do uble click your mouse and a menu will appear. You will then s ee options to look up a definition, translate the words, and sea rch the book. The definition works like a regular online diction ary; Google Dictionary offers a short definition with the option for more information and a pronunciation guide. The translatio n tool works the way Google's webpage translation works.”Searching books has always been part of Google's focus；Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google with the aim of se arching books. The new additions of defining books while you are reading them are common with e-book readers, but being able to translate to and from different languages, including Latin, is even bigger than the original "bi g idea" of Google books.5．Why was May 19 an important day for Google?A. Because Google began to sell more e-books than print ones.B. Because Google translated many books into Latin on that d ay.C. Because it was a turning point when Amazon was defeated by Google.D. Because Google offered new tools to make online reading easier.6．The Google e-Bookstore can offer its readers the following service EXCEPT ________.A. downloading any e-book as they like B. electronic magazinesC. e-books in many languages D. translation while reading7．When you look up a new word with Google, ________.A. you have to stop reading and turn to a new pageB. you can double click your mouse and follow the instruction sC. you must refer to its pronunciation on other websitesD. don't expect detailed information about this word 8．Google was started to_______.A. translate words or passagesB. search booksC. provide a communication toolD. exchange acade mic informationCIs there anything more important than health? I don't think s o. "Health is the greatest wealth." wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or ba d pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you r un a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor’s. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your hear t and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funn y story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man w as very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory los s and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor e xamined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat with plea sure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor als o said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't s moke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentle man came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and hap py. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a he althier man. "But you know, doctor," he said, "it's not easy to begin smoking at my age."9. The writer thinks that _____.A. work is as important as studiesB. health is more im portant than wealthC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money10. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do _____.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn't take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain11. The underlined part means "_____".A. he will be well againB. he wasn't a health y manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he was fee ling better than ever12. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man _____ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn't smoke so muchC. didn't smokeD. began to learn to sm okeDMillions of people around the world cook their food over a s moky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts ofmoney on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, peopl e are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking wat er to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cook er. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sun light into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective f or slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It include s several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's lig ht onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of pla stic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel co okers with very few supplies quickly. They do not cost much. I n Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens . However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cau se burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. Th ey will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232 degrees Celsius. A s olar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low t emperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.13.The solar oven has been in use for aboutA. 100 yearsB. 150 yearsC. 250 yearsD. 300 year s14.The advantage of a panel cooker is thatA. It costs very little money to makeB. food can be cooked very quickly in itC. it can cook large amounts of food at a timeD. food can be kept warm in it for a longer time15. Which of the following is a disadvantage of a parabolic co oker?A. It takes a long period to cook a mealB. It’s too heavy to be carried.C. It requires certain skills to build and operate.D. It can be used only when the weather is perfect.第二节七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

They often accept the opinion orideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 22 ; they try to find a solutionby trial and error. 23 , when all of these methodsfail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are si_ 24 in analyzing a problem.25the person must recognize that there is aproblem. For e_ample, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 26 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Ne_t theperson must 27 the problem. Before Sam can repair hisbicycle, he must know why it does not work. For e_ample, he must 28 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must lookfor 29 that will make the problem clearer andlead to 30 solutions. For e_ample,suppose Sam 31 that his bike does not work because thereis something wrong with the brakes. At this time he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,32 his friends atthe bike shop,or look at his brakes carefully.After 33 the problem, the person should have 34 suggestions for a possible solution. TakeSam as an e_ample 35 ,his suggestions might be: tightenor loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end,one suggestion seems to be the solution 36 the problem. Sometimes the final ideacomes quite 37 because the thinker suddenly sees somethingin a 38 way. Sam ,for e_ample, suddenly seesthere is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 39hits on the solution tohis problem: he must clean the brake.Finally thesolution is 40 .Sam does it and finds his bicycleworks perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.21.

A.recorded B.completed C. tested D.acceptedIII．阅读理解(40分)AChildrenstart out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or e_pensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’scuriosity(好奇).Firstly,listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds totalk about science as a job. The children asked me 〝te_tbook questions〞 aboutschooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said,〝Now that we’vefinished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?〞After a longpause, a boy raised his hand,〝Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When Itry eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?〞This began aset of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly,give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, afterasking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,no time for a child to think. When adults increase their 〝wait time〞 to threeseconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的),complete and creativeanswers.Thirdly,watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with 〝That’s right〞 or 〝Very good〞.These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行为).But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying,〝That’sinteresting〞 or 〝I’dnever thought of it that way before〞,or coming up with morequestions or ideas.Never push achild to 〝Think〞.It doesn’tmake sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’smore, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try tofind the answer you want, In as few words as possible, so that he will be a smallertarget(目标) for yourdisagreement.Lastly, showdon’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let childrenlook at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜),and they’llunderstand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.41.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise theirinterest, the most important thing for adults to do is .A. to letthem see the world aroundB. to sharethe children’s curiosityC. to e_plaindifficult phrases about scienceD. to supplythe children with lab equipment42.Inthe last sentence of the first paragraph, the word 〝lists〞 could best be replaced by.A. anyquestions B.any problemsC. questionsfrom te_tbooks D.any number of questions43.According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, completeand creative way if adults .A. ask themto answer quicklyB. wait forone or two seconds after a questionC. tell themto answer the ne_t dayD. wait atleast for three seconds after a question44.In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say toencourage children in a science discussion?A. The secondand third. B.The fourth and fifth.C. The fifthand si_th. D.The seventh.45.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share withtheir children’s curiosity e_cept that adults should .A. tell theirchildren stories instead of reciting (背诵) factsB. offertheir children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patientenough when their children answer questionsD. encouragetheir children to ask questions of their ownBA letter toEdward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家)Dear Mr. E_pert,I grew up inan unhappy and abusive home. I always Promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at the age of 20,I have a good job and a nice house,and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’sthe problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish theyhad places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.It startedout with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem totake it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I enjoyhaving my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feelcomfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough tomove out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?JoanEdward’sreply to JoanDear Joan,If yourfamily didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’vegathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you mayfear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy thenice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendshipit’s Okay to put your own needs first from time to time.Be clearabout the message you want to send.

The spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Service in World War Ⅱ and later laid the roots for the CIA(美国中央情报局)was very interested in information. Donovanbelieved in using whatevertools came to hand in the〝greatname〞of discovering information—spying as a〝profession〞(职业).These days the Net, whichhas already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, isreshaping Donovan’s job as well.The latestrevolution isn’t simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen’se-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In thepast three or four years the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industryof point-and-click spying. The spies call it 〝open-sourceintelligence(情报),and as theNet grows ,it is becoming increasingly to affect people’s lives. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could collected the most facts about Burundi.The winner was a tiny Virginia company called open source solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world.Among thefirms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc, a private intelligence-analysis(情报分析)firm based in Austin, Te_as. Straitford makes money by selling the results ofspying (covering nations from Chile to Russia ) to corporations likeenergy-services firm McDermott International. people may find its forecastsonline at.Straitfordpresident George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of tool for bothcollecting and giving out information, a spymaster’s dream. Last week his firm was busy searching for information from the far corners of the worldand saying there would be a crisis(危机)in Ukraine.〝As soon asthat report runs ,we’ll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine,〞 saysFriedman, a former political science professor.〝And we’ll hearback from some of them.〞 Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since itcan be difficult to tell good information from bad. That’s where Straitford earns its keep.Friedmanrelies on only 20 people in Austin. Several of his staff members have military-intelligence(军事情报) backgrounds. He sees the firm’s outsider position as the key to its success. Straitford’s brief don’t sound like the usual Washington back-and-forth, by which people avoid dramaticdeclarations on the chance they might be wrong. Straitford, says Friedman ,takes pride in its independent voice.56.

They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.On the other hand,40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low.Yours truly,Li Hua(命题人付勇)。
