　　【参考范文】基础写作 (One possible version)

　　Hi Grown-up,

　　As a student of your age, I understand your situation and the problems you are facing are common among our teenagers. However, we need to understand that our parents have to work hard to support the family and may not have a lot of time to spend with us. Besides, the social, economic and educational environment where our parents grew up might not be the same as ours today. Therefore, they may not be able to appreciate the things we youngsters think about or do.

　　It is a good way to increase mutual understanding for you to take the initiative to communicate with your parents, like sharing your ideas about some issues. Moreover, try to share some housework within your ability such as doing some cleaning, washing and cooking so as to lighten your parents’ burden and, meanwhile, to show them that you are no more a little child.

　　　I hope my advice can be of some help to you.

　　Yours,

　　Li Hua

　　解析　考查名词辨析。由下文语境可知，“我”的希望，也就是演出成功的希望随着幕布的落下而消失了，故选hopes。A项意为“疑问”；C项意为“声音”；D项意为“耐力，忍耐力”。

　　16．A.argued B．shoutedC．begged

　　D．sobbed

　　答案　D

　　解析　考查动词辨析。由后半部分的“tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face”可以看出，“我”一下台就痛苦地啜泣起来，所以选D项，意思是“啜泣”。A项意为“争论”；B项意为“喊叫”；C项意为“乞求”。

　　17．A.turn

　　B．calmC．let

　　D．put

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查动词辨析。从上文的描述可以看出，“我”的情绪失控了，所以很不冷静，因此这里要表达的意思是：没有人能使我冷静下来。calm down意为“使……平静、冷静下来”。 turn down意为“拒绝”；let down意为“放下，使失望”；put down意为“放下”。

　　18．A.star

　　B．pioneerC．loser

　　D．fool

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查语境化选词。“我”当时一直以为自己很失败，但从后面的描述来看，“我”现在意识到当时没有直接走下舞台，而是继续完成表演是成功的。所以四个选项中只有star(明星)符合语境。

　　19．A.satisfied

　　B．movedC．embarrassed

　　D．confused

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查语境化选词。这里描述的是当时在舞台上出现失误后的心情，自然应该是“尴尬的”，所以用embarrassed。A项意为“满意的”；B项意为“感动的”；D项意为“困惑的”。

　　20．A.However

　　B．InsteadC．In total

　　D．In return

　　答案　B

　　解析　instead代替，反而。相反，“我”仍然面带微笑地完成了表演。A项意为“然而”；C项意为“总计”；D项意为“作为回报”。

　　Ⅶ.阅读理解

　　A

　　A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.

　　Ashcombe Primary School in Weston­super­Mare，Somerset，has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing.

　　In his February newsletter(简讯)，Peter Turner，head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.

　　He wrote，“We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year.Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”

　　“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”

　　Mr.Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.

　　His views were supported by Ruth Rice,46，who has twins Harriet and Olivia,9，at the school.

　　She said，“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day，and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”

　　“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner.”

　　She added，“The cards caused too much competition.If someone gets a card and another doesn’t then he or she will be disappointed.”

　　However，Rajeev Takyar,40，who sells newspapers and has two children Jai,11，and Aryan,5，at the school，said he was “genuinely outraged”．

　　He said，“There are schools that have banned conkers(康克戏) and snowballs，and now Valentine’s Day cards.”

　　“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills.How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？It’s ridiculous.”

　　Alec Suttenwood，founder of the Anti­Political Correctness Group，said of the ban，“It’s totally ridiculous.Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents.It’s just a bit of harmless fun.There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”

　　长难句分析

　　Ashcombe Primary School in Weston­super­Mare，Somerset，has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing.

　　英国萨默塞特郡Weston­super­Mare镇的Ashcombe小学日前告知学生家长，11岁以下的孩子在情感和社交上都还不够成熟，传达爱意的情人节贺卡会让他们感到“困惑”。本句中含有宾语从句“that cards declaring love can be ‘confusing’ for children under the age of 11...”，其中的“children under the age of 11”后带有定语从句“who are still emotionally and socially developing”。

　　1．Valentine’s Day cards may cause confusion among young children because ________.

　　A．they are too young to understand what love is

　　B．teachers haven’t taught them how to make friends

　　C．children shouldn’t learn about social relationships

　　D．students talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends

　　答案　A

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文章的第二段可知，英国Ashcombe小学告知学生家长，11岁以下的孩子在情感和社交上都还不够成熟，传达爱意的情人节贺卡会让他们感到“困惑”。因此最佳答案为A。

　　2．The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by “________”．A．collected

　　B．destroyedC．taken away

　　D．burnt away

　　答案　C

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据文章的前两段可知，英国一所小学日前宣布禁止学生互送情人节贺卡，理由是小学生不应过多讨论男女朋友的问题。老师在二月份的学校简讯中提醒家长说，今年在学校发现的任何情人节贺卡将一律被没收。confiscate意为“没收”，与take away同义。

　　3．Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr.Turner’s view in that ________.

　　A．children like to compare Valentine’s Day cards

　　B．children should focus their mind on their lessons

　　C．sending holiday cards wastes both time and money

　　D．making friends has a negative influence on children

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第八段可知，作为家长，Ruth Rice说：“孩子们现在不应该过多考虑情人节这个问题，而应把精力放在学习上。”故答案为B。

　　A．Most of English parents want children to have fun.

　　B．Children should learn how to develop social skills.

　　C．English schools don’t allow students to play games.

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。40岁的报刊经销商Rajeev Takyar表示自己“十分愤慨”。他说：“先是玩康克戏和打雪仗在某些学校被禁止，现在又是情人节贺卡。我认为禁送情人节贺卡不利于孩子们社交技能的培养。以后他们怎么去了解各种社会关系？真是荒谬。”由此推断，答案为D。

　　5．What is the best title of the text?

　　A．School bans Valentine’s Day cards

　　B．Shall we send Valentine’s Day cards?

　　C．Different opinions on Valentine’s Day cards

　　D．Parents’ concern about Valentine’s Day cards

　　Children are often far more gifted than what their parents or teachers can realize.IQ tests do not measure creative talents.By depending on them to measure intelligence，therefore，we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.Most children start life with valuable creative potential.Unfortunately，many of them have it knocked out of them，so to speak，by the time they reach the 4th grade.It is not that parents and teachers deliberately squelch(限制) creativity；or rather，they fail to recognize it.By simply observing the child at work or at play，you may detect creativity，if you look for the following key signs：

　　*Curiosity.The child’s questioning is persistent and purposeful.He is not content with given explanations，and he would rather dig under the surface.

　　*Flexibility.If one approach doesn’t work，the child quickly thinks of another.

　　*Sensitivity to Problem.He is quick to see gaps in information.He is sensitive to contradictions between prior rules and what he hears or reads.

　　*Self­feeling.He has a feeling of being somebody in particular.He is self­motivated，self­directed，and can work alone for long periods provided it’s on his own project.

　　*Originality.He has surprising，uncommon，interesting ideas.His drawings and stories have a style that marks them as his own.

　　*Insight.He has easy access to realms(领域) of the mind that non­creative people visit only in their dreams.He toys with ideas that easily come to him.

　　Qualities like these count very little in IQ tests，which measure memory，vocabulary，mathematical ability and general reasoning.These abilities are valuable，and the creative child does usually have them.However，the child with a so­called genius IQ of 180 is in reality no more likely to be a genius than the child with a slightly above­average IQ of 120.In fact，evidence suggests that some children with high IQs may develop memory and logical reasoning powers at the expense of insight，imagination，and adventurous qualities that are essential to geniuses.(2011·无锡调研)语篇定位

　　本文是一篇说明文。智力测试的结果并不能说明一个孩子是否具有创造力，有创造力的孩子往往具有某些特质，如好奇心、灵活性等。

　　长难句分析

　　In fact，evidence suggests that some children with high IQs may develop memory and logical reasoning powers at the expense of insight，imagination，and adventurous qualities that are essential to geniuses.

　　本句是一个复合句。第一个that引导宾语从句；第二个that引导定语从句。句意为：事实上，有证据表明，一些智商很高的孩子可能以牺牲洞察力、想象力和冒险品质为代价来发展自己的记忆力和逻辑推理能力，而洞察力、想象力和冒险品质对于天才而言是不可或缺的。

　　6．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.

　　A．why IQ tests are not accurate

　　B．to encourage creativity in children

　　C．no to squelch creativity in children

　　D．the difference between intelligence and talents

　　答案　B

　　解析　主旨大意题。文章分析了智力测试的片面性以及有创造力的孩子所具有的特质，写作的目的是鼓励人们培养孩子的创造力。

　　7．The author believes that IQ tests mainly measure ________.

　　A．creative potential

　　B．talents

　　C．intelligence

　　D．general reasoning

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。从文章第一段第三句“By depending on them to measure intelligence，therefore，we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.”可知，智力测试测试的是人的智力。

　　8．The passage doesn’t clearly state but implies that ________.

　　A．the education nowadays does not provide much space for creativity

　　B．intelligence makes no contributions to creativity

　　C．signs of creativity in children are hard to detect

　　D．IQ tests are often used to measure children’s talents
