　　(2016·洛阳市统考)

　　“Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂) is a sign of love.”

　　Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been—but experts say they still ring true.

　　Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre­college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.

　　“Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys，” said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家) in Jinhua，East China's Zhejiang Province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”

　　In August，Song sent his 17­year­old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And_he_is_far_from_alone,_even_though_it_takes_a_lot_of_money—around_$48,000_per_year—to_send_a_child_to_a_strict_military_school.

　　Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

　　A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28. “All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled，” said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.

　　Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

　　Now, three months later, he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.

　　“The training is hard but I know it is good for self­development of individuals，” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character，they are not personal.”

　　But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

　　But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

　　本文通过习语“打是亲，骂是爱”引出了有些富人家长把孩子送到美国军校去培养的事件，说明了该习语有一定的道理。

　　36．From the second paragraph ，we can know the old Chinese saying ________.

　　A．is out of date in modern times

　　B．is disagreed by rich parents

　　C．is still worth trusting

　　D．is deeply believed by better educated parents

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but experts say they still ring true”可得出答案。

　　37．The underlined sentence means that ________.

　　A．Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely

　　B．Song is the only one who sends his child to military school

　　C．there are other people sending their children to military school besides Song

　　D．the fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it

　　答案：C　句意理解题。根据画线句中的“And he is far from alone”可知有很多人送孩子去严格的军事学校学习，远不止他一个。

　　38．Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except ________.

　　A．taking a bath in a short time

　　B．having his meal with his eyes closed

　　C．taking unreasonable criticism

　　D．improving his character

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中的“finishing a meal without looking at his food”可判断B项错误。

　　39．How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?

　　A．10.

　　B．13.

　　C．15.

　　D．25.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第七段中的“A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28.”以及倒数第二段中的“Ten of the 13 Chinese students....”可推断出在今年之前来这所学校的学生数量为28－3＝25。

　　40．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

　　A．It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

　　B．Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

　　C．Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.

　　D．Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。根据第六段内容可推断出答案。

　　B

　　(2016·吉林市期末)

　　Famous as “the king of chefs and the chef of kings”， Auguste Escoffier helped raise the position of cooking from a laborer's task to an artist's job. Escoffier was born on October 28,1846, in the small village of Villeneuve­Loubet, near Nice, France. Among the key figures in the boy's life was his father, who worked primarily as a blacksmith (铁匠). His grandmother, an enthusiastic cook ，was perhaps more responsible than anyone for introducing the boy to an appreciation of the delights of cooking.

　　Young Escoffier attended the local school until age 12, upon which time his father thought it necessary that the boy learn a trade. In school he had shown a talent for drawing, yet he was told to regard this art only as a hobby, and to find his career in a more practical profession. Thus his father took him to Nice in 1859 ，where he would work as an apprentice (学徒) in his uncle's restaurant, the respectable Le Restaurant Francais.

　　At Le Restaurant Francais, Escoffier was not treated as the close relative of the boss. Rather, he experienced a classically demanding apprenticeship. For this strictness of training he would later, in his memoirs (回忆录), express gratefulness. During this time Escoffier also attended night school, and had to deal with his studies as well as the demands of a promising career.

　　When Escoffier was 19 and had taken on yet more responsibilities in his uncle's restaurant, a customer recognized his skills and offered him work in Paris. This was the owner of Le Petit Moulin Rouge, one of the finest restaurants in Paris, where Escoffier was to become a sous­chef, ranking below the head chef. After three years in this position, he rose to the level of head chef, wearing the respected chef's hat.

　　本文主要讲述的是名厨Auguste Escoffier早年的经历。

　　41．It was his

　　________

　　who first influenced Escoffier to be interested in cooking.

　　A．father

　　B．mother

　　C．uncle

　　D．grandmother

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“His grandmother, an enthusiastic cook, was perhaps more responsible than anyone for introducing the boy to an appreciation of the delights of cooks.”可得出答案。

　　42．We can infer that as a schoolboy，Escoffier might hope to be ________.

　　A．a chef

　　B．a businessman

　　C．an artist

　　D．a blacksmith

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“In school he had shown a talent for drawing....”可知他对绘画感兴趣。故推断他上学时很可能想成为一名艺术家。

　　43．According to Paragraph 3, Escoffier ________.

　　A．was badly treated by his uncle

　　B．showed great interest in writing

　　C．disliked working as an apprentice

　　D．was thankful for the strict training

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句“For this strictness of training he would later, in his memoirs, express gratefulness.”可得出答案。

　　44．Which of the following can best describe Escoffier?

　　A．Hard­working.

　　B．Honest.

　　C．Warm­hearted.

　　D．Modest.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。根据文章中他严格训练的情况，以及参加夜校等经历可判断他很努力。

　　45．What is the text mainly about?

　　A．How to become a chef in France.

　　B．The influence of Auguste Escoffier.

　　C．What an apprentice is required to do.

　　D．The early life of a famous French chef.

　　答案：D　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述的是这个厨师的早年经历。

　　(2016·长春市一调)

　　Human wants seem endless，when a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat；when a manager gets a new sports car, he dreams of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.

　　The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

　　The first and most basic level of wants is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as cars and new houses.

　　By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the “life­enriching” level. While the other levels mean physical satisfaction—the feeding, comfort, safety and transportation of the human body—this level means mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

　　On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

　　A fifth level probably would be wants that can be achieved by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes and crime. After filling our stomachs, our garages, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health and safety to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

　　本文主要讲述人类不断追求生活的更高层次。

　　46．According to the passage, a man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ________.

　　A．he has saved up enough money

　　B．he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

　　C．he has satisfied his hunger

　　D．he has learned to build houses

　　答案：C　细节理解题。由第三段第一、二句“The first and most basic level of wants is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter.”可知解决了饥饿的问题之后，人们才会考虑住房和衣着问题。

　　47．It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War Ⅱ most Americans ________.

　　A．were very rich

　　B．were very poor

　　C．had the good things on the first three levels

　　D．didn't own cars

　　答案：D　推理判断题。由第三段第二、三句“Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War Ⅱ these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.”可推知在二战末大多数美国人还是处在第二阶段，即衣着和住处的解决阶段，还未到达第三阶段，并没有拥有自己的车子。

　　48．Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction” ?

　　A．A successful career.

　　B．A comfortable house.

　　C．Enough food.

　　D．A family car.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。由第四段第三句“While the other levels mean physical satisfaction—the feeding, comfort, safety and transportation of the human body....”可知答案。

　　49．Which is the main want of man on the fourth level?

　　A．The more goods, the better.

　　B．The more mental satisfaction, the better.

　　C．The more “luxury” items, the better.

　　D．The more earning, the better.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中“... this level means mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services many of which could be called ‘luxury’ items.”可推知在第四阶段人们追求心理的需要，因此在这个阶段应该是心理越满足越好。

　　50．The author thinks that a fifth level ________.

　　A．would be a little better than the fourth level

　　B．may be a lot more desirable than the first four

　　C．can be the last and most satisfying level

　　D．will come true if the government takes actions

　　答案：B　推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“After filling our stomachs, our garages, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health and safety to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.”可知与前四个阶段相比，人们更渴望拥有第五阶段。

　　D

　　“Confidence”

　　is

　　probably

　　one

　　of

　　the

　　most noticeable traits (特点) in the Americans.

　　They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk.

　　Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find

　　it

　　extremely

　　important

　　to

　　be

　　confident

　　as

　　an international student

　　and

　　a foreign

　　instructor.

　　As

　　a student,

　　being

　　confident

　　means

　　you

　　should

　　never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.

　　Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.

　　Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you

　　actually

　　do

　　not

　　may

　　just

　　bring

　　yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.

　　But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches

　　(The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.

　　谦虚是中华民族的传统美德，可是在美国，自信却尤为重要。

　　51．To compete with American students it's very important to ________.

　　A．be quite confident

　　B．be polite and friendly

　　C．have more discussions with them

　　D．understand what they think about

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as...”可知自信尤其重要。

　　52．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ________.

　　A．gives a silly or simple answer

　　B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class

　　第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

　　阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

　　[1]The kids get home from school—tired, hungry and looking for entertainment. The last thing they want to do is to get on with their homework. However, at this very time, parents often remind the kids to do their homework by nagging (唠叨) and cajoling (哄骗). If that doesn't work, homework wars break out. But with some basic rules and good habits, they can be avoided.

　　[2]When_it_comes_to_preparing_your_kids_for_homework_success,_one_of_the_first_things_to_begin_is_the_environment_they_are_working_in. Not all children will like working alone in their bedrooms. Some children might prefer to study at the kitchen table, and providing that location works for the family, there's no reason to force them into another room.

　　[3]Try to keep the house relatively quiet and free of distractions. If you're worried, you can't provide the right equipment or environment at home, see whether the local library could offer an alternative place to study. Also, some schools will offer homework clubs, where students can complete homework and seek help from a supervising teacher if needed.

　　[4]Once you've got the study environment sorted, think about when it is ________ for homework to be done. If children are old enough to make plans, it can be worth sitting down together and breaking projects into smaller tasks to be completed on different nights. This can stop kids from feeling overwhelmed (被压垮) and it also teaches them time management skills.

　　[5]If you follow the above rules, you can avoid homework wars down the track. And if tensions are rising at home around homework, remember that a little bit of kindness can go a long way.
