Parents are busy people. If they are working, they are usually not at home
48 when/ after their children return from school. Sometimes it is necessary for a parent to write
49 an
after-school note for their children. They sometimes put the note on the kitchen table, the refrigerator,
50 or
another place where their children are sure to find it. A note is often a
51 better
way to "talk" with a child than using the telephone. For one thing, parents have time to think about
52what
they want to say before they write.
For53
another, the note lists all the information in one place. It is easy to read again and again People often forget all the details that
they 54
hear in a telephone call. Finally, cell phones can be turned
55 off
or telephone calls not answered. For these reasons, after-school notes are very popular with parents.

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? Lots of kids(孩子) at the same age as you are. Not only are students in China
1
from this problem, but kids in the United States are
2
fed up with(饱受……之苦) heavy school bags.
Experts are starting to
3
that more and more young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags
4
too heavy for them. “It’s hard for me to get up the
5___ with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rich Hammond,
6
11-year-old student in the US. Rick is among the students who have
7
backpacks(背包)with two straps(带子) to carry them,
8
a number of other students choose rolling backpacks. But even with rolling backpacks,
9
up stairs and buses with them is
10
a problem for kids. Many of them have hurt their knees, backs or necks because of heavy school bags.
But how much is too
11
? Experts say students should carry
12
more than 10 to 15 per cent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin
13
doctor, said kids under 4th grade should
14
with 10 per cent. But it’s also important that older kids don’t go
15
15 percent, because their bones are still growing. Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. “Kids are
16
their balance and falling down with these backpacks,” he saiD.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take
17
library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using worksheets(作业纸) or
18
workbooks for students to take home.
One of the best answers is, as some
19
themselves suggested, to have no homework

6—10 DDBAB
11—15 CADBC
16—20 CABDA
1.选D。根据后面的also fed up with(也饱受……之苦)选定。
2.选D。not only…but also系习惯搭配。
3.选C。学生负担重,是一个人人皆知的现象,无需专家指出,故排除A、B、D三个选项。
4.选A。of后是一个介词短语,故选非谓语动词being。
5.选B。由副词up可排除另三个选项。
6.选D。此处表示泛指,故用不定冠词,又由于eleven以元音开头,所以选择an。
7.选D。这里的regular等于usual,意为“正常的、通常的”。
8.选B。前后意义在此形成转折。
9.选A。上文已呈现过这一说法,此外,另三个选项不能与bus搭配。
10.选B。根据even选定。
11.选C。 由主语中的much推定。
12.选A。no more than意为“仅仅”。not more than意为“不超过”,须后接一个固定值,10 to 15表示的是一个区间,数值并不固定。
13.选D。通过排除法选定。儿科医生用baby doctor,所以A是不能选用的。
14.选B。stay表示“坚持,承受”。另三词后面不能用with。
15.选C。 beyond意为“超出”。前面已交待过学生背负的重量应在自身体重量的10%至15%之间,即不能“超出”15%。
16.选C。背着背包跌倒的原因就是身体“失去”平衡。
17.选A。第18空后再现了take home这一说法,此外,另三个词是名词,应排除。
18.选B。这里讨论的是作业的量,而不是质,故选thin。
19.选D。全文谈的是学生学习负担沉重的事,因此,由themselves ,我们首先联想到的是kids。
20.选A。at all在否定句中表示强调。

After a few moments of 19 silence he glanced up and said, “Are you crying, grandpa? You’ve got a 20 on your cheek.”
Clearing my throat I explained that it must be from the smoke.
