Most students, when asked about their best graduation(毕业) gift, would probably reply, “ A car”, or “Money for a house”. Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a difference choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet.

Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau(高原) was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai’s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he feel of his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,” said Cai.

However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak.

It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to risee. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”

Cai was moved by the girls’ story. Their situation is worse and the local people have little chance the learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.

24. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift? A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet. B. Receiving money for a house.

C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school. D. Owning a new car and travelling around. 25. What is Cai Kaiyuan’s journey to Tibet like? A. Special and comfortable. B. Dangerous but meaningful. C. Relaxing but unexpected. D. Freezing cold and boring.

26. The underlined phrase “on the line” in the third paragraph means “_____________”. A. in a hurry B. at risk C. making a phone call D. surfing the Internet 27. The purpose of writing this passage is to _____________. A. tell us about an unusual graduation gift B. introduce a dangerous journey to us C. give advice on how to travel to Tibet D. encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet

C

Recently, we’ve been talking about how we need better teachers. There’s no doubt that a great teacher can help in a student’s learning but here’s what some new studies are also showing:

We need better parents.

Every three years, the organization called O.E.C.D. organizes exams as part of the Program for International Student Assessment(评估), or PISA, which tests 15-year-olds on their abilities to deal with real problems. America’s 15-year-olds have not done as well as students in Singapore, Finland and Shanghai in the PISA exams.

To better understand the reasons, the PISA team, starting with four countries in 2006, and then adding 14 more in 2009, went to the parents of 5,000 students. They interviewed them about how they raised their kids and then compared it with the test results for each of those years. Two weeks ago, the PISA team published the main finding of its study.

Fifteen-year-olds whose parents often read books with them during their first year of primary school get much higher scores in PISA 2009 than students whose parents don’t often read with them or not at all. Parents’ concern for their children is strongly connected with better results in PISA.

According to Schleicher, the leader of the team, just asking your children how their school day was and showing great interest in their learning can help a lot. It is something every parent can do, no matter what their education level is.

The study found that getting parents concerned about their children’s learning at home is more powerful than parents attending parent-teacher meetings, volunteering in classrooms, taking part in money-raising, and showing up at back-to-back nights.

To be sure, nothing can replace a good teacher. But let’s stop putting the whole duty on teachers. We also need better parents. Better parents can make teaching more beneficial. 28. What can we learn about the organization O.E.C.D？ A. It tests teenagers’ learning skills. B. It calls for better teachers.

C. It organizes PISA exams every 3 years.

D. It compares parents from different countries. 29. Why does the PISA team interview some parents? A. To understand students better. B. To get along well with parents.

C. To help students with bad test results.

D. To find out why students have different test results. 30. According to the study, parents are advised to _________. A. try to search for better teachers B. put the whole duty on teachers C. care about their children’s school life D. ask their children to read more books. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Better Parents Are Needed

B. Better Teachers Are Appreciated C. A Study by the PISA Team D. An Interview with Parents.

D Empathy

Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped a lot over the past 10 years. That

could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said. Today, people spend more time alone and seldom join groups and clubs.

Jennifer Freed, a director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect(尊重). Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially connected with nature. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is important to those relationships. Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers always have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be helpful for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.

Empathy is also necessary for a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one the most important things they look for in new managers. Social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional(情感的) intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life. “Tests results are important. But if you don’t have emotional intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.

What’s the best way to up your EQ(情商)? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says. To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

32. Why does empathy among college students drop a lot? A. They spend too much time on screen.

B. Understanding each other is hard for them. C. They are busy with their studies. D. Programs on screens are attractive.

33. What does Jennifer Freed think of reality shows on TV? A. Exciting. B. Boring. C. Bad. D. Good. 34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Necessary social skills in daily life. B. The importance of empathy for leaders. C. Successful leaders with high empathy. D. The requirements for new managers. 35. What are people encouraged to do according to the last paragraph? A. Show your opinions freely. B. Work as doctors. C. Develop empathy in different ways. D. Protect animals. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

How to Help Children Learn From Their Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes. 36 As parents, it’s our duty to help our children learn from their mistakes. Turning a mistake into a learning experience will help your child grow. Here are some tips for helping children learn from their mistakes.

Explain exactly what the mistake is. It’s important to make your child accept the fact that he made

a mistake. Talk with your child and help him exactly understand what he did is not right. 37

Never imagine he knows; always talk over the problem early.

Ask your child to make an apology if his mistakes hurt others. This step takes a mistake that is connected with another person even further. 38 By making your child go to see and talk with the person who was hurt, he will more fully understand the results of the mistake and learn from that bad experience.

Offer suggestion in different ways to lead your child to avoid making the same mistakes again. You can choose to share your personal examples if you had the same problem before. 39 He may not want to do exactly the same thing, but it will get him to start in the right direction.

40 Having your child try to work through the problem and know how to deal with it on by himself will help develop his reasoning skills, which is good for his self-development. In this way, he will know what he should do if a similar situation appears in the future.

A. Tell your child how you dealt with the problem. B. Now it’s time to help him properly correct mistakes. C. Praise him if he fully understands the mistake he made. D. Children need to learn the results of their mistakes.

E. Learning from mistakes is what makes us become better people. F. Encourage your child to find a way to deal with the problem alone. G. Sometimes a child fails to know why the things he did are wrong. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）
