I saw a really good video last night when I was taking care of the kids.My sister asked me to look after my two nieces for a couple of hours while she went to the doctor's.They're both nine years old—they're twins.I was a bit tired but I know they love watching films，so on my way to the house I went to the video shop and rented a Disney classic.I'd seen it myself 20 years before when I was their age，so I was sure they'd enjoy it，and I was right.My nieces love dogs and as the film is about two dogs which fall in love，they sat in front of the TV for over an hour without moving！It's a complicated love story because one of the dogs lives in the rich part of town and is very carefully looked after and has everything a dog could want，but the other is a street dog who lives on the poor side of town and has nothing.So it's a bit like Romeo and Juliet！But of course it's a Disney film，so there's a happy ending.Everybody who's seen the film always remembers the scene when the two dogs are eating a plate of bone which ends in a kiss！
18.When did the speaker first see the film？

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
(2010·太原市高考模拟试题一)Chinese parents are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money，parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England，the United States or Australia.They also want their children to take extracourse activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet，or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is，the better it is.So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However，what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children's skills vary，skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize，though，is that today's children lack selfrespect and selfconfidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiplechoice tests and how to study well，but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident，happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking，sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking，so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.His result，a wellcooked dinner，will give him much satisfaction and a lot of selfconfidence.
Some old machines，such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.He will spend hours looking at them，trying to fix them；your child might become an engineer when he grows up.These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book，but rather to think，to use his mind.And that is more important.
56.Parents in China according to this passage .
A.are too strict with their children
B.are too rich to educate their children
C.have some problems in educating their children correctly
D.have no problems in educating their children strictly
解析：考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段以及第三段的最后一句话可知许多家长在教育孩子方面有问题。故答案为C。
答案：C
57.The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with .
A.the parents' ideas of educating their children
B.the education system of the school
C.children's skills in cooking at home
D.children's hobbies in the classroom
解析：考查推理判断题。由第四段可知作者对家长们教育孩子的观念不赞同。
答案：A
58.Doing some cooking at home helps children .
A.learn how to serve their parents
B.learn how to become strong and fat
C.benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D.make their parents believe that they are clever
解析：考查细节理解题。根据第六段中“Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.”可知。
答案：C
59.According to the last paragraph we can conclude that .
A.broken radios and television sets are useful
B.one's curiosity may be useful for his later life
C.an engineer must fix many broken radios
D.a good student should spend much time repairing radios
解析：考查推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知让孩子们玩耍一些破旧的收音机、电视机有助于激发他们的好奇心，而这种好奇心可能让他们在将来成为一名工程师，由此可以判断出答案为B。
答案：B
BAthens Olympic champion Liu Xiang ignited
(使灼热)a soldout(满座的) Olympic sports center with victory in the men's 110m hurdles
finals at the 11th Chinese National Games here
on Sunday.
The 26yearold Liu exploded out of the starting blocks and hit the line first with a lastgasp burst in 13.34 seconds.The result was good enough for the 2007 world champion to win the title，but far off his former world record and personal best of 12.88 seconds.
“I just wanted to keep the pace，keep steady.I kept watching my opponents during the race.I didn't make my upmost to spurt(冲刺)，” Liu said after the race.Ji Wei of the People's Liberation Army，who placed first in the Saturday's heats，finished second in 13.42.Liu's national teammate Shi Dongpeng stood third in 13.63.“Thanks a lot for the Shandong people's support and also the media.I felt great tonight，” Liu added.
“After I accepted the surgery，I was in doubt of myself and cannot see my future.But with one match after another，I gradually recovered.I believed in myself.” said Liu.
As the first Chinese male athlete to win an Olympic track gold，Liu is one of the nation's favorite sports stars like NBA Houston Rockets' center Yao Ming.
Supporters were shocked and heartbroken when Liu limped(一瘸一拐地走)out of the Bird's Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics due to the foot injury.
Thirteen months later，the strongminded man thrilled the home crowd with strong comeback in Shanghai and proved he still had the strength to catch up with current record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba.
Liu's victory on Sunday made him become the first Chinese athlete to win an event in a row in three straight Games.
“To be a triple champion (三连冠)was great.I still hope to win the fourth next time，” said a beaming Liu.
60.After the foot injury，.
A.Liu Xiang still took part in Beijing Olympic Games and satisfied his supporters
B.Liu Xiang was as active as before

答案：C
61.What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean？
A.High temperature. B.Hot weather.
C.Intense feeling.
D.The race before the final.
解析：推理判断题。通读整篇文章可知，刘翔获得本次全运会的冠军，所以Ji Wei 的第一应该是预赛中获得的，故此处的“heat”应为预赛之意，所以D项正确。
答案：D
62.Which of the following statements about Liu Xiang is TRUE？
A.Liu Xiang became an Olympic champion again on this Sunday.
B.Liu Xiang became the world champion in 2007.
C.Liu Xiang finished the men's 110m hurdle final this time in less time than his world record.
D.Liu Xiang is not satisfied with his performance.
解析：细节理解题。细读文章前三段可知，刘翔获得的是全运冠军，并且成绩不及他的世界纪录，但他对自己的表现比较满意。由此判断A， C， D项错误，由 “The result was good enough for the 2007 world champion to win the title...”可知B项正确。
答案：B

A. Liu Xiang picks gold at National Games.

C
Not all math skills are learned in the classroom.Some of them come naturally.Consider the splitsecond calculations you make when you estimate the number of empty seats on the school bus or the number of cookies in a cookie jar.
These estimates can often be done without counting.That's because humans are born with the ability to closely guess the number of items in a group.Researchers call this ability a person's “number sense”.
To see how a person's inborn number sense might be linked to mathematical performance in the classroom， psychologist Justin Halberda and his colleagues from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore， US ran some tests.
The scientists asked 64 14yearolds to look at images(影像) of yellow and blue dots that flashed on a computer screen for a fraction(一小部分)of a second. Each image contained between 10 and 32 dots that varied in size.
Some images contained twice as many blue dots as yellow dots.In other images，however，the number of blue and yellow dots was nearly equal.For each image，the students were asked to estimate which color had more dots.
The scientists found a wide variation in how well students could pick the color with the most dots.
The scientists then looked at the students' math scores dating back to
kindergarten.Children that performed best in the image test also scored the
highest in standard math tests.The same finding held true at the other end of the spectrum (范围).Students who didn't score well on the image test received lower math scores.
The study was the first to show a link between a person's inborn number sense and his or her achievement in formal math training.
Does this connection mean that one cannot be good in math if they have a weak number sense？Or that having a strong number sense is a guarantee for good grades in math？The answers are not clear.
While scientists continue looking at the possible links between a person's number sense and math achievement，one thing is certain：Doing lots of math homework will boost your chances of success.
语篇解读：本文告诉我们，人们的数学能力并不都能够在课堂中学得，有些是与生俱来的。心理学家Justin Halberda和他的同事对此进行了研究。64.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A.Everyone has an inborn number sense.
B.Those who have a strong number sense are sure to do well in math.
C.Some of the math skills are inborn.
D.Doing a lot of math exercises may help learn math well.
解析：正误判断题。从文章倒数第二段可知B项表述不正确。
答案：B
65.Justin Halberda and his colleagues ran some tests to.
A.look at the students' math scores dating back to kindergarten
B.ask the students to estimate the dots
C.see if a person's inborn number sense has something to do with math learning
D.decide how to learn math well
解析：事实细节题。从第三段可知，Justin Halberda等人的研究目的就是要知道“一个人天生的数字感是否跟课堂上的数学成绩有关系”，所以答案选C。
答案：C
66.What is the proper meaning of the underlined word “boost”？
A.increase
B.grasp
C.miss
D.possess
解析：词义猜测题。从最后一段可知，虽然科学家还在研究一个人的“数字感”与数学成绩的关联性，但有一点是明确的：多做数学作业肯定能增加成功的机会。由语境可知，boost在这里表示“提高，增加”，答案选A。
答案：A
67.According to the passage，the most important thing to learn math well is that.
A.one should have an inborn number sense
B.one should practice a lot
C.one should do a lot of tests
D.one should do a lot of counting
解析：从最后一段可知，有一点是明确的：多做数学作业肯定能增加成功的机会所以答案选B。
答案：B
D
Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV，start their chores (杂事)，or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.Before you know it，you've started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments，clean their room， or take out the trash.Rather than saying，“Do your chores now，”you'll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed.So instead of arguing about starting chores，just say，“If chores aren' t done by 4 p.m.，here are the consequences.”Then it' s up to your child to complete the chores.Put the ball back in their court.Don't argue or fight with them，just say，“That' s the way it' s going to be.”It shouldn't be punitive (惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive.“If your chores aren' t done by 4 p.m.，then no video game time until chores are done.And if finishing those chores runs into homework time，that's going to be your loss.”On the other hand，whe
