阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

One of the best-known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called Doctor Strong From Then to Now is traveling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.

Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children’s book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.

Doctor Strong’s books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures: The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.

The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strong’s original drawings and some of his writings.

Most of Doctor Strong’s books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligot’s Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discussed the arms race in The Butter Battle Book, written in 1984.

Doctor Strong is almost eight-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes sorties that interest people of all ages. He says he used easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand.

21. Doctor Strong first became famous in _____.

A. his eighties when an art show was traveling around the United States

C. 1984 when his book Mc Elligot’s Pool was published

B

I have been homeschooled my entire life. I do know that I would not be who I am today if I had not been homeschooled.

One of the things I think is so great about homeschooling is that every family is different. Some homeschool parents assign a week’s worth of schoolwork on Monday and tell the kids to complete it when they get to it during the week; others sit down with their kids and do school for a certain amount of time each day. It’s entirely up to the family.

Another thing that’s great is that if I don’t understand something, my mom can sit down with me and help me one-on-one until it clicks. Because she only has three students to teach, she has more time to make sure we all understand our work.

Being homeschooled, I don’t think that my life lacks anything. I know that I’m getting a good education and, contrary to what many people think, homeschoolers are not necessarily socially deprived (剥夺). My family belongs to homeschool group, and if we ever want to hang out with other homeschoolers we can. I’m a fourteen-year-old girl with many friends, both boys and girls.

Yes, I’m somewhat different from everyone else---but everyone is unique. If everyone was the same, where would the variety be? I’m different in many ways, but I’m also similar to other teens in many ways, too. I love Katy Perry and the Black Eyed Peas. I like chatting and hanging out with friends, and I like talking on the phone.

I take pride in the fact that I’m homeschooled. I love to be different, and I love to be who I am. Homeschooling is the right thing for me , and if my mom offered me the chance to go to public school I would turn it down immediately.

I am homeschooled, and that is something I am and will continue to be proud of.

24. How does the writer feel about her present life?

A. WorriedB. ConfusedC. SatisfiedD. Disappointed

A. she is similar to others

B. she has a special hobby

C. she has a unique character

D. she is different from others

C

Just when parents are paying off bills for new school clothes and supplies, teenagers may need more money for other necessities. All these expenses can stress the family’s budget, said a New Mexico State University consumer education specialist.

Many social activities like drama clubs that continue throughout the school year require money, said Susan Wright with NMSU’s Cooperative Extension Service. It’s sometimes difficult for teenagers to understand why parents don’t have unlimited resources.

“Parents can help avoid problems by including children in family financial discussions and giving them opportunities to assume responsibility for some of their own expenses,” she said. “This will help them move towards financial independence.”

Wright offered parents these tips to help teenagers become good financial managers:

● Consider giving teens an allowance(零花钱). Decide what expenses the allowance should cover and let teens budget to meet those needs. Giving an allowance should not mean the family spends more. It simply shifts the responsibility to teens to manage money.

● Teach teens how to shop. Talk about comparative shopping, reading labels and interpreting advertisements. Explain the importance of planning ahead to cover necessary purchases.

● Explain the family’s financial situation---income and outgo. If teens are old enough to spend your money, they should understand where it comes from and how it needs to be used. Be sure they understand the importance of setting financial goals and planning for the family’s future needs.

资*源%库 $来&源：$来&源：● Teach teens how to use and manage a checking and savings account. Go over monthly bank statements together to show them how to justify checking accounts. Help teens understand the importance of keeping good records and knowing where money goes.

“It’s important that parents help their teenagers develop sound financial management practices,” Wright said. “The best way to do that is to set a good example. Be open and supportive and resist the temptation to make financial decisions for them. After all, it won’t be long until they will be out in the real world making decisions on their own.”

28. What should be the best title for this passage?

A. Helping Teens Manage Money

B. Helping Teens Make Money

C. Ways to Spend More Wisely

D. Ways to Live More Wealthily

29. Who are target readers of this passage?

A. Teenagers.B. Parents.C. Teachers.D. Doctors.

30. Which piece of advice aims to help teens to share their parents’ responsibility?

A. The first oneB. The second oneC. The third oneD. The last one

31. According to Susan Wright, parents should _____.

A. give teens as much pocket money as possible

B. do the shopping for teens

C. make financial decisions for teens

D. help teens move toward financial independence

D

The Future Stars

General introduction

The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality child care in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our finds mainly come from public donations.

A healthy curiosity for learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most critical time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling.

Hours of operation

Child care will be provided for the child from7:00a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday(except for holidays). Children may not arrive before 7:00a.m. or remain after 6:00 p.m. Should an emergency arise, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $ 1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 p.m. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival; not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.

Parking

Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas, Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle.

Tuition(学费)

When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration fee of $200 per child.

The weekly tuition fee is $ 98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00a.m., you will be charged a $25.00 late fee.

For more information, please call 434-293-6110 or visit at www.Childdevelopmentcenter.com

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。

Most of us like to think we are fairly happy people, but deep down we might not necessarily believe it or feel happy. 36

They look on the bright side.

When things get tough, the truly happy are often unshaken. 37 If you truly want to be happy, you need to make a point of having faith that things will turn out alright. Maintain your perspective（观点） and know that, no matter what happens, you can bounce back（迅速恢复活力）.

They value relationships.

Instead of focusing on money and pursuing（追求）career advancement by working long hours, the happiest people focus more of their time on personal relationships. At the end of your life, you won’t remember a lot of the time you spent at work.38 Putting people before money is a powerful tool in achieving happiness.

They avoid drama(戏剧性事件).

39 While other people get caught up in other people’s relationships or stress out about who said what to whom, happy people choose to focus on the things they have more control over. Paying attention to your own life and letting other people live theirs is a simple way to make best use of happiness.

They follow their passion.

Finally, happy people follow their passions. If they wake up and realize that they are unhappy with their job, they aren’t afraid to leave it to pursue something they really care about. 40 It might lead to a huge failure. But happy people aren’t afraid to stick their neck out and chase what everyone else is afraid to.

1. Focusing on money is to end up unhappy.
2. It might involve taking a risk.
3. They maintain careers they enjoy as individuals.
4. Happy people also tend to mind their own business.
5. Considering failures may be natural for most people.
6. So what are the secrets of all those happy people?

   Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a 41 , but not too long. And if he notices that he is being stares at, he may feel 42.
   It’s the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than 43 , you will look at yourself 44, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If 45 goes wrong, you will feel angry towards other’s stare with you that way. Eyes do 46 , right?
   Looking too 47 at someone may seem to be rude. But things are different when it 48 to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than ten 49and refuses to turn away, his purpose is obvious, that is, he wishes to 50her attention and to make her understand that he is 51her.
   52, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener 53, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is saying and to tell him that he is attentive.
