第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

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

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence. 

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.   

21．Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.

A. are too strict with their children   B. are too rich to educate their children

C. have some problems in educating their children correctly

D. are too poor to educate their children

22．The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.

A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children  B. the education system.

C.children’s skills D. children’s hobbies 

23．Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.

A. learn how to serve their parents    B. learn how to become strong and fat

C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future

D. make their parents believe that they are clever

24．According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.

A. broken radios and television sets are useful

B. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life 

C. an engineer must fix many broken radios

D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios

  B

You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking.

"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed," says a psychologist,"In order to take action, you have to work against them." Here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.

●Why should I be the one? I'm probably not the most able person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.

●What if he doesn't really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.

●No one else looks concerned. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.

"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on," says the psychologist."Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, 'It looks like we should do something.' Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you."

29. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?

A. They will call 110. B. They will offer help.

C. They will go on walking. D. They will laugh at him.

30. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?

A. I'm not the very capable person. B. It looks like we should do something.

C. No one else is concerned. D. He doesn't really need my help.

31. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, .

A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can B. we should turn away in no time

C. we should stop and try to make other people help together

D. we should take on the whole responsibility

32. The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers . .

A. to give others a hand B. to be more able

C. to explain their inaction D. to evaluate the situation

D

A safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hours because the park is huge.

In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.

There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every type of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.

Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.

A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild beast to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has to prove the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.

33. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The gun is given to a traveler by the government. B. The gun can be used to hunt.

C. The gun is given to a traveler to defend himself. D. A traveler may fire at a wild beast.

34. Which is the thing people have to do while traveling in the park?

A. Carry a gun with him. B. Drive around in a car.

C. Look at the animals. D. Purchase food for the animals.

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some information about traveling in a safari park in South Africa.

B. A brief introduction to wild animals in a safari park.

C. A brief introduction to a safari park.

D. Some information about traveling in South Africa.

第二节：(共1小题，共25分) One Possible Version

Dear friends,

In recent years, many of us spend a lot of time on the Internet with its popularity. As a result, we don’t write as well as we did in the past. In order to protect our Chinese characters and improve our handwriting, we’d like to offer some suggestions:

We should spend less time online so that we can have more time to read books. We’d better form the habit of keeping diaries every day to practice handwriting. Besides, it is better to write letters to our relatives and friends by hand rather than send e-mails. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial to us students. So please pay more attention to our handwriting in the future.

Let’s take action now!
