The number of rural(乡村的) left-behind children under 17 years old has increased to 61.02 million, according to a

report. These children’s parents leave them with their grandparents or other family members in order to make money in cities.

Sichuan Province and Henan Province have the highest percentage of rural left-behind children. Together with

Anhui Province, Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, these five provinces have 43.64% of the country’s rural left-behind children, the report says.

The report finds that left-behind children are mainly in the central and western provinces. But the developed eastern

areas also face similar problems, the report says. Guangdong Province has the most left-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing.

children problem can’t be solved, it will affect the nation’s future.

Compared with those who live with their parents, left-behind children need more care and protection. The country

should think about ways to attract the rural workers in cities to return and work in their hometown to improve the development of these places.”

In addition, it is important to set up laws to protect the basic rights of young people, especially those with illnesses

or only one parent.

These children are the future of the nation. People should offer them their love, care and protection.

Is getting a black belt(腰带) on your life’s to-do list? Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your

hero.

Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree

black belt --- the highest rank in Judo (柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who have earned the tenth-degree black belt. Throughout history, only 16 people have ever achieved this honor.

Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro.

At her teacher’s requirement, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.

During a time when getting married, building a family and becoming a housewife were the norms(行为标准)，

Fukuda broke from tradition, continuing Judo instead of getting married.

“All I did was Judo ... This was my marriage,” Fukuda replied tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is

when my destiny (命运) was set. I just imagined how long the road would be.”

She described the Jiguro’s school as “old-fashioned and sexist(性别歧视的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an

edict(法令) that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for 30 years. She finally got the sixth degree in 1972 when a women’s division（分部）was created.

Fukuda thinks Judo and her life to be “gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”.

Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not external(外在的). She explained. “I believe this inner beauty is true beauty… All my life this has been my dream.”

Her dream was turned into reality, and the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a

week at a women’s Judo training center.

29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?

A. She is the first woman to achieve the highest rank in Judo.

B. It took her 30 years to get a tenth-degree black belt.

C. Her teacher wanted her to help spread Judo to other parts of the world.

D. Only one woman and fifteen men have ever earned the tenth-degree black belt in the history.

30. Why did Fukuda pursue(追求) Judo all her life?

A. To look for inner beauty. B. To help Japan become stronger.

C. To spread Judo around the world. D. To fight against tradition.

31. Which of the following best describes Fukuda according to the article?

A. Traditional B. Popular C. Determined (坚定的) D. Curious

D

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of

different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the

restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”

Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of

weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which

we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong

force that helps us achieve.

32. Why does the writer write the first paragraph?

A. Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.

B. Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.

C. Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.

D. Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better.

33. By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know__________.

A. anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end

B. what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground

C. man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down

D. the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure

34. What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. 束缚 B. 放纵 C. 摇摆 D. 牵引

35. In the writer’s opinion, ____________.

A. without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress

B. kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom

C. restrictions are necessary for us human beings

D. we don’t need any freedom at all

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共42分）

四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案（每格限填一词）。

Why you should think big

If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to

increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?

The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to

pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.

Remember that everything starts small

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a

smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.

Think bigger by enlisting(争取) others

To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If

you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.

Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to

make sure your dream grows.

Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)

There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it

could go unless you see how far you can take something.

If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or

attempt properly.

Feel that it is your human duty to think big

When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you

don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.
