　　Ⅱ阅读(共两节，满分50分)

　　第一节　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项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families.But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

　　An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seen to be about their families，” said one member of the research team.“They're expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well.There's more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision­making process.They don't want to rock the boat.”

　　So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me，” says 17­year­old Daniel Lazall.“I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing.As long as they know what I'm doing, they're fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees.“Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

　　Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

　　26．What is the popular images of teenagers today?

　　A．They worry about school.

　　B．They dislike living with their parents.

　　C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.

　　D．They quarrel a lot with other family members.

　　27．The study shows that teenagers don't want to ________.

　　A．share family responsibility

　　B．cause trouble in their families

　　C．go boating with their family

　　D．make family decisions

　　28．Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today's parents ________.

　　A．go to clubs more often with their children

　　B．are much stricter with their children

　　C．care less about their children's life

　　D．give their children more freedom

　　29．According to the author, teenage rebellion ________.

　　A．may be a false belief

　　B．is common nowadays

　　C．existed only in the 1960s

　　D．resulted from changes in families

　　30．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．Negotiation in family.

　　B．Education in family.

　　C．Harmony in family.

　　D．Teenage trouble in family.

　　B

　　Is early childhood education really necessary？Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development.Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.

　　There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education.Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life.Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison.

　　There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early.Time Magazine online explains that “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first­grade work.” I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier.

　　Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”， as the gains are lost in middle and high school years.It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education.Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children.Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.

　　31．The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________.

　　A．to develop the children's communication

　　B．to give orphaned children good care and education

　　C．to get the children prepared for the kindergarten

　　D．to train the children formally and regularly

　　32．According to the studies, which of the following is TRUE?

　　A．Children with good early education may have a rich life.

　　B．The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life.

　　C．Children without early education can do well at school.

　　D．Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children.

　　33．“the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first­grade work.” suggests that ________.

　　A．the early childhood education is helpless to the child's grade

　　B．it is good for the young children to receive early education

　　C．the early education can help the children follow the grade

　　D．the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be

　　34．The author's attitude toward the early childhood education is ________.

　　A．puzzling

　　B．negative

　　C．indifferent

　　D．proving

　　35．The main idea of the last passage is that ________.

　　A．the early childhood education is very necessary

　　B．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot

　　C．environment is the most important to life's success

　　D．better ways should be found to help the poor children

　　C

　　The CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs' story about death

　　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today？”

　　Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.

　　I was diagnosed with cancer.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors' code for preparing yourself to die.

　　I lived with that diagnosis all day.I was completely in despair.Later that evening, I had another biopsy (活组织检查) and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery.I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

　　This was the closest I've been to facing death.To tell the truth, no one wants to die.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.It clears out the old to make room for the new.Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

　　Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma (教条)—which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart.It somehow already knows what you truly want to become.Everything else is se­condary.

　　36．The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because________.

　　A．he had to rest at home

　　B．his disease was not serious at all

　　C．his disease couldn't be cured

　　D．he had to wait for the result of the test

　　37．How did the author feel after the diagnosis?

　　A．Angry.

　　B．Excited.

　　C．Optimistic.

　　D．Hopeless.

　　38．What helps the author to make a big choice in life?

　　A．The cancer.

　　B．Knowing the coming death.

　　C．The doctors.

　　D．The desire for longer life.

　　39．What does the author think of death?

　　A．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.

　　B．He thinks it is not the end of life.

　　C．He thinks it is impossible to avoid.

　　D．He thinks it is the beginning of a new life.

　　40．In Steve Jobs' opinion, we should ________.

　　A．follow others' advice

　　B．take no notice of diseases

　　C．take exercise and keep healthy

　　D．have the courage to follow our heart

　　D
