第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分, 第二节每小题1分；满分45分） 第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

A

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity（好奇）. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven－year－olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary（薪水）and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper（蚱蜢）eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”

This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. 

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical（符合逻辑的）, complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior（行为）. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.

Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without

your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target（目标）for your disagreement.

Lastly, show; don't tell. Real－life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass（放大镜）, and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates（蒸发）, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

41. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is __________ .

A. to let them see the world around B. to share the children's curiosity C. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment

42. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by A. any questions B. any problems  C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions

43. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ____________ .

A. ask them to answer quickly.

B. wait for one or two seconds after a question. C. tell them to answer the next day.

D. wait at least for three seconds after a question.

44. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity except that adults should _____________ .

A. tell their children stories instead of reciting（背诵）facts B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves C. be patient enough when their children answer questions D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own

B

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（生气的, 不耐烦的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah sure, what is it？”replied the man. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”

“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”

The father was furious（生气的）, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒气）on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy！”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皱皱巴巴的）up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.

“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early

tomorrow.

I would like to have dinner with you.”

45. When the man came home from work late, he______. A. was tired but happy

B. was tired and angry at his son’s question

C. was tired but happy to find his son waiting for him at the door D. was tired and angry to find his son waiting for him at the door 46. The little boy asked the question ______. A. because he wanted to have dinner with his father

B. in order to borrow some money from his father to buy something C. because he wanted to buy a toy D. because he was just curious to know

47. After an hour or so, the man went to the little boy’s room and ______. A. saw if the boy was asleep

B. asked him what he needed to buy with that $ 10 C. said sorry to his son D. gave $10 to his son

48. From this passage, we can infer that ______. A. the boy would like to have dinner with his father B. the boy often asked for money to buy some nonsense C. the boy loved his father very much D. the man would get even angrier at last

C

Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

The word \here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against

another view, as when some one criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.

Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker, If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.

Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and serf-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, \

49. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,__________. A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast B. we might be controlled by other people's ideas C. we will follow the ideas of others naturally D. we might be fooled by other people's ideas 50. If you are a critical thinker, you will________. A. think deeply about different ideas B. trust the reports in the newspapers C. take one view against another view D. criticize other people for their mistakes

51. In the last paragraph, \A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things B. the faster you do things, the smarter you become C. speed can improve intelligence D. intelligence is not decided by speed 52. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Thinking and Critical Thinking

B. Understanding Critical Thinking C. Thinking Natural and Human D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

D

The newspaper seller was a clean, neat man, of about forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didn’t speak much to the customers or to his helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency, not conversation, and this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred it.

It had been a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to read outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for a cheerless joyless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.

At 6:30, with the main rush over, he started to collect the money together and count it. Then he left the stand and went home. It was the assistant’s turn this evening to look after it till eight o’clock, when it would be packed away for the night. His large white Mercedes was in the private car park of a large government building. He’d parked there for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about him soon, and he’d have to park in a garage again, which was annoying. Their charges were far too high. A couple of junior clerks, regular customers, happened to see him getting into his car. “Must be a lot of money in papers, eh?” one of them shouted. He just smiled coldly in reply, and got into the car, placing the bags of money on the floor.

He thought about the clerks on the way home. Like the majority of his customers, despite their white shirts and dark suits, they probably made in a week as much as he could make in a good day.

53．It seems unlikely that the newspaper seller would be the sort of man who would ______. A．be a cheerful companion B．try to cheat a customer C．earn a great deal of money D．trust his assistant much 54．The assistant’s job that evening was to ______.

A．sell papers until 8 o’clock B．start selling magazines at 8 o’clock C. count the money taken that day D．lock up the car park

55．If they realized that he was not a heating engineer he would have to _______. A．park his car in a government car park B．look for another free parking place C．pay to park his car in a garage D．pretend he was a government employee 56．When the newspaper seller thought about the two clerks he decided they were _______ A．badly dressed

B. very well off

C．not as rich as himself D．not as hardworking as himself 

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but What is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

57. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized __________ A. how important money is in their day-to-day life B. how one spends money shows what is important to him C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life D. that their understanding of life is more important than money

58. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money__________. A. is a good way to test your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship C. will strengthen（增进）your friendship D. is a good way to break off your friendship

59. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview? A. He does not feel that he is well educated.

B. He does not think that he is a very important person. C. He doesn't think that being rich is worth so much attention. D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.

60. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book? A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means. C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant.

To stay away from this disease, you had better stay at home as much as possible and not go to places where there are many people. Wash your hands more often to keep them clean. Open the window to have more fresh air in the room. And eat more fruits and vegetables to keep yourself fit and strong.

So far the disease is not so deadly as it seems to be. Do be at ease! Take care and you’ll be OK.

Yours, Li Hua

第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分, 第二节每小题1分；满分45分） 第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

A

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity（好奇）. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven－year－olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary（薪水）and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper（蚱蜢）eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”

This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. 

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical（符合逻辑的）, complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior（行为）. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.

Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without

your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target（目标）for your disagreement.

Lastly, show; don't tell. Real－life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass（放大镜）, and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates（蒸发）, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

41. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is __________ .

A. to let them see the world around B. to share the children's curiosity C. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment

42. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by A. any questions B. any problems  C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions

43. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ____________ .

A. ask them to answer quickly.

B. wait for one or two seconds after a question. C. tell them to answer the next day.

D. wait at least for three seconds after a question.

44. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity except that adults should _____________ .

A. tell their children stories instead of reciting（背诵）facts B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves C. be patient enough when their children answer questions D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own

B

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（生气的, 不耐烦的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah sure, what is it？”replied the man. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”

“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”

The father was furious（生气的）, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒气）on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy！”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皱皱巴巴的）up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.

“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early

tomorrow.

I would like to have dinner with you.”

45. When the man came home from work late, he______. A. was tired but happy

B. was tired and angry at his son’s question

C. was tired but happy to find his son waiting for him at the door D. was tired and angry to find his son waiting for him at the door 46. The little boy asked the question ______. A. because he wanted to have dinner with his father

B. in order to borrow some money from his father to buy something C. because he wanted to buy a toy D. because he was just curious to know

47. After an hour or so, the man went to the little boy’s room and ______. A. saw if the boy was asleep

B. asked him what he needed to buy with that $ 10 C. said sorry to his son D. gave $10 to his son

48. From this passage, we can infer that ______. A. the boy would like to have dinner with his father B. the boy often asked for money to buy some nonsense C. the boy loved his father very much D. the man would get even angrier at last

C

Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

The word \here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against

another view, as when some one criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen—beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.

Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker, If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.

Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and serf-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, \

49. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,__________. A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast B. we might be controlled by other people's ideas C. we will follow the ideas of others naturally D. we might be fooled by other people's ideas 50. If you are a critical thinker, you will________. A. think deeply about different ideas B. trust the reports in the newspapers C. take one view against another view D. criticize other people for their mistakes

51. In the last paragraph, \A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things B. the faster you do things, the smarter you become C. speed can improve intelligence D. intelligence is not decided by speed 52. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Thinking and Critical Thinking

B. Understanding Critical Thinking C. Thinking Natural and Human D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

The newspaper seller was a clean, neat man, of about forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didn’t speak much to the customers or to his helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency, not conversation, and this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred it.

It had been a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to read outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for a cheerless joyless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.

At 6:30, with the main rush over, he started to collect the money together and count it. Then he left the stand and went home. It was the assistant’s turn this evening to look after it till eight o’clock, when it would be packed away for the night. His large white Mercedes was in the private car park of a large government building. He’d parked there for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about him soon, and he’d have to park in a garage again, which was annoying. Their charges were far too high. A couple of junior clerks, regular customers, happened to see him getting into his car. “Must be a lot of money in papers, eh?” one of them shouted. He just smiled coldly in reply, and got into the car, placing the bags of money on the floor.

He thought about the clerks on the way home. Like the majority of his customers, despite their white shirts and dark suits, they probably made in a week as much as he could make in a good day.

53．It seems unlikely that the newspaper seller would be the sort of man who would ______. A．be a cheerful companion B．try to cheat a customer C．earn a great deal of money D．trust his assistant much 54．The assistant’s job that evening was to ______.

A．sell papers until 8 o’clock B．start selling magazines at 8 o’clock C. count the money taken that day D．lock up the car park

55．If they realized that he was not a heating engineer he would have to _______. A．park his car in a government car park B．look for another free parking place C．pay to park his car in a garage D．pretend he was a government employee 56．When the newspaper seller thought about the two clerks he decided they were _______ A．badly dressed

B. very well off

C．not as rich as himself D．not as hardworking as himself 

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but What is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

57. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized __________ A. how important money is in their day-to-day life B. how one spends money shows what is important to him C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life D. that their understanding of life is more important than money

58. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money__________. A. is a good way to test your friendship B. will do harm to your friendship C. will strengthen（增进）your friendship D. is a good way to break off your friendship

59. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview? A. He does not feel that he is well educated.

B. He does not think that he is a very important person. C. He doesn't think that being rich is worth so much attention. D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.

60. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book? A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means. C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant.

From TV I know there are still many A/H1N1 flu cases reported recently in the United States and many schools are closed as a result. I’m so worried about you. Are you all right? Are there any A/H1N1 flu cases in your school? Are you afraid of this widespread disease?

To stay away from this disease, you had better stay at home as much as possible and not go to places where there are many people. Wash your hands more often to keep them clean. Open the window to have more fresh air in the room. And eat more fruits and vegetables to keep yourself fit and strong.

So far the disease is not so deadly as it seems to be. Do be at ease! Take care and you’ll be OK.

Yours,

Li Hua
