　　.阅读理解

　　“Tiger Mother”parenting raises media storm.A new book written by a self­described Chinese descent(血统)on her super­strict parenting—Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the U．S.

　　Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls.She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent.In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power.In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleep­over，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldn't choose their own after­class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B—which she says“would never happen”—there would be“a screaming，hairtearing explosion”．She describes making her 7­year­old daughter play a piano piece perfectly—yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom—until it was.

　　Many people have criticized Chua.Some say her parenting methods were abusive.She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style.But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.

　　Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families.She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk.When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life.Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.

　　Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus said，“I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life.But I can imagine how strong her daughters' college applications are going to be.For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the US­based Heraldnet.com.

　　“In that sence，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.

　　【语篇解读】 耶鲁大学华裔教授Amy Chua的新书《虎妈战歌》成为美国人热议的话题，她提出的“中国式”严苛教子方法引发了巨大争议。

　　1．According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua?

　　A．She is an easy­going woman.

　　B．She is an assistant professor.

　　C．She is a demanding parent.

　　D．She is a cruel teacher.

　　解析　推理判断题。由文章第二段“In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters.”及其后她对孩子的苛刻要求的“几个不准”、孩子自己的“几个不能”以及成绩总是A等，足见其为一个“苛求的”人，即demanding。

　　答案　C

　　2．Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A．Playing the piano.

　　B．Playing the guitar.

　　C．Dating with boys.

　　D．Getting an A minus.

　　解析　细节理解题。文章第二段“They had to play piano or violin—and no other musical instruments.”很清楚地表明答案为A。

　　答案　A

　　3．Stacy DeBroff advised parents to________.

　　A．seek a better future for their children

　　B．develop their own style of parenting

　　C．be strict with their children

　　D．follow Amy Chua's parenting style

　　解析　细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段末尾“Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.”可以得出答案为B。

　　答案　B

　　4．Alison Lo concluded that________.

　　A．persistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting style

　　B．parents should respect children's personalities

　　C．a gifted child was born with talent

　　D．a teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parenting

　　解析　推理判断题。文章末尾句：“In that sense，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made.”“从这个意义上讲，年轻人的天赋可以是天生的，也可以通过后天严格的教养而激发”，故D项正确。A项与原文意思achievable“有成就的”有出入，文中并无信息表明“persistent，dedicated parental guidance”是“最好的”。

　　答案　D

　　.阅读表达

　　阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

　　Millions of British children are“culture starved”as they have never been to an art gallery, theatre or museum, a study has claimed.

　　The research, commissioned by Visit Birmingham, found four in 10 children had never been to an art gallery, while a quarter of parents had never taken their offspring to the theatre.One in five parents said they did not think their child would be interested.

　　The study surveyed 2,000 parents of five to 12­year­olds around the UK.It also found 17% of children had never visited a museum, while one in 10 had not been outside their hometown to visit other sites in the UK.Half of parents said they made little effort to educate their children about culture or history and relied on schools to do so.A quarter said they could not afford to visit attractions with 28% saying they did not have the time and 18% believed their child was“too young for culture”．However，half said they were more likely to take their children sightseeing when they were abroad on holiday.

　　When asked ________their children had participated in, the most popular was learning an instrument (39%), with ballet (24%), painting (23%) and singing in a choir (22%) the next most popular cultural activities.

　　Emma Gray, from Marketing Birmingham, which runs the Visit Birmingham campaign, said it was important for all generations to embrace cultural activities.

　　“Culture can take many kinds of forms and it's essential that our children are encouraged to get involved with this at an early age，”she said.“A few trips during the year to museums, landmarks or even cultural festivals will prove to be memorable, informative and fun occasions for youngsters.”
