A

It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s’and it’s designed to give all children in Finland，no matter what background they’re from，an equal start in life.

The maternity(母性) package—a gift from the government—is available to all expectant mothers.It contains bodysuits，a sleeping bag，outdoor gear，bathing products for the baby as well as nappies，bedding and a small mattress.

With the mattress at the bottom，the box becomes a baby’s first bed.Many children，from all social backgrounds，have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.

The tradition dates back to 1938.At first，the scheme was only available to families on low incomes，but that changed in 1949.In the 1930s Finland was a poor country and the infant death rate was high—65 out of 1,000 babies died.But the figure decreased rapidly in the decades that followed.Over 75 years，the box has been an established part of the Finnish rite(仪式) of a passage to motherhood，uniting generations of women.

Reija Klemetti，a 49-year-old woman from Helsinki，remembers going to the post office to receive a box for one of her children.“My partner Milla and I were living in London when we had our first child，Jasper，so we weren’t eligible(有资格) for a free box.But Milla’s parents didn’t want us to miss out，so they bought one and put it in the post office.We couldn’t wait to open the box.There were all the clothes I had expected，with the addition of a snowsuit for Finland’s cold winter.”

“We now live in Helsinki and have just had our second child，Annika.She did get a free box，from the Finnish government.This felt to me like evidence that someone cared—someone wanted our baby to have a good start in life，” Reija Klemetti said.

1．In Finland the maternity package is probably seen as a symbol of .

A．wealth B．equality

C．pride D．fame

2．The fourth paragraph implies that .

A．the rich refused to use the boxes

B．there were not enough boxes at first

C．the boxes were given to poor families only

D．the boxes helped cut down the death rate of babies

3．Why couldn’t Reija Klemetti get a free box when her first child was born?

A．They were not citizens of Finland.

B．They lived outside Finland.

C．They didn’t apply for the box.

D．They had got one from their neighbors.

4．What did Reija Klemetti want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．A free box came at last.

B．She was longing for a free box for her child.

C．She returned to Finland to get a free box.

D．The free box gave her a feeling of warmth.

B

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad，that it sets one person against another，that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied(依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

5．What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B．Opinions about competition are different among people.

C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

6．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A．It pushes society forward.

B．It builds up a sense of duty.

C．It improves personal abilities.

D．It encourages individual efforts.

7．The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means “”．

A．those who try their best to win

B．those who value competition most highly

C．those who are against competition most strongly

D．those who rely on others most for success

8．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？A．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

C

It’s hot out.The usual midday thunderstorm has just passed，and a few kids hanging out on benches around the pool at Miami’s Ransom Everglades School finally jump in and cool off.

Eight-year-old Gary Kendrick and the others are all here for swim lessons.“They told us to hold on to the wall and kick our feet and，like，move our arms，”Kendrick says.“When I had to swim to one of the counselors，I was really swimming.I do not even know I was moving.”

Kendrick doesn’t have the technique of an Olympic swimmer，but he can make it to the side of a pool if he’s pushed，falls in，or just wants to cool off.Kendrick is one of a handful of kids from South Miami to get free swim lessons at Ransom Everglades.

“You know，we have populations of people who lack basic swim skills，”says Julie Gilchrist.“In swimming pools...presumably，you know where the bottom is，you know where the sides are，” she says.“And so one would think that with basic swim skills it should be difficult for an older child or teen to drown in a swimming pool.And yet that’s what we were seeing among African-Americans.”

Swimming pool drowning rates among school-aged black children are more than five times higher than they are among white kids the same age.Why？There are many reasons，but one big one.“Kids who are living in public housing，growing up where finance is a real problem，single-mother households，opportunities for just having access to a pool are limited.”

After four decades of work to get a pool built，Codrington is finally getting one，in the heart of South Miami.Codrington calls it a “mixed bag”．He wishes the new pool were bigger—to accommodate things like swim meets and lifeguard lessons.But he’s satisfied knowing that it’ll be a place where neighborhood kids can learn to swim.

“This is going to save a lot of lives just as it is.It’s going to save a lot of children from drowning，” he says.

9．At Ransom Everglades，Kendrick .

A．was being trained to swim for Olympics

B．was learning the skills of swimming for free

C．was having a lesson as an Olympic swimmer

D．was playing in a pool to cool off

10．What was Gilchrist seeing among the black children?

A．They know where the bottom of the pool is.

B．They have grasped basic swimming skills.

C．They often drown in a swimming pool.

D．They can’t make it to the side of a pool.

11．According to Codrington，black kids .

A．had no money to pay for swimming

B．wouldn’t like to go to a faraway pool

C．aren’t allowed to swim by their moms

D．have fewer chances to access a pool

19 Why are zebras the only ones smart enough to develop the stripes？After all，there are plenty of other animals like horses and donkeys，which are subjected to the same torture.Upon closer examination of the black and white animals，the researchers noticed that unlike the others，zebras have very short coats of hair，making them particularly susceptible(易受影响的) to getting bitten by the flies!

While Tim，who published his findings in the online journal，Nature Communications，on April lst，says that this mystery is finally solved，but it has given rise to a new one—Why are these fearless flies who have no qualms attacking animals that are thousands of times bigger，afraid of black and white stripes？20 It may help the professor with his next quest!

A．But that led to another question.

B．This question has been puzzling animal experts for centuries.

C．Zebras live mostly on the African grasslands.

D．Determined to solve this age-old mystery，a team of scientists set to work.

E．In order to do this，researchers did many experiments on zebras.

参考范文

Dear Bruce，

I’d like to study English in your language center this summer vacation.I think it will greatly improve my spoken English and also I’ll learn about American culture.Studying in a traditional class in our country，I’d like a change.I think it’s better to discuss in class and it’ll be interesting to make a survey of society.If I have a chance to stay in an American family，that will be better.Living there，I can enjoy their culture and foods.I am wondering if I have a chance to live near the language center.If so，I can go to school on foot，which I think is easy for me to get to know the place quickly.

Besides，I’d like some information about your fees.I’d be grateful if you give me a hand.Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

Yours sincerely，
