about bringing up children.W:How will this be achieved?By encouraging parents to watch their children?M:So often a mother is likely to feel “He is playing quietly on his own.I can get on with my work.” So shes not with her child.The result is that the child very quickly becomes bored,playing on his own.Mothers need to be with their child because this encourages him in whatever hes doing.If a mother is,say,working in the kitchen,her child wants her and just quietly calls to his mom,but she doesnt respond until he shouts.So in effect,shes said to him “Unless you shout at me,I wont come.” And then she comes to me and says “Ive got a child whos always shouting.” You find that in effect shes trained him to shout.12What does the man want to talk about in the discussion?A.Bringing up

come into my study.“Be seated,Julia,”I said.“Lets settle our accounts.I guess you most likely need some money,but maybe youre too polite to mention it.Now then,we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No,thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well,um,youve been here for two months,so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take nine Sundays off.you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays,and you only took walks.And three holidays.”Julia was biting her fingernail nervously,her face red,but,not a word.“Three holidays,therefore take twelve dollars off pay.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons,as you were occupied only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven makes nineteen.Take nineteen off.that leaves,hmm.forty-one dollars.Correct?”Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled,and she coughed nervously and blew her nose,but still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer;take two dollars off your pay.The cup cost more,because it was a treasure of the family,but forget it.Then,due to your neglect(疏忽),Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket;take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes.You ought to watch everything!You get paid for it.So,that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave you ten dollars.”“You didnt,”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well.if you say so.”“Take twenty-seven from forty-one,and that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears.Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,”she whispered,her voice trembling,“and that was by your wife.Three dollars,nothing more.”“Really?You see now,and I didnt know that!Take three from fourteen and it leaves eleven.Heres your money,my dear.Three,three,three,one and one.Here it is!”I handed her eleven dollars.She took them and pocketed them.“Merci(Thanks),”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the floor.I was overcome with anger.“For what,this merci?”I asked.“For the money.”“But you know Ive cheated yourobbed you!I have actually stolen from you!Why this merci?”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything?No wonder!I played a little joke on you,a cruel lesson,just to teach you.Im going to give you all the eighty dollars!Here they are in the envelope all ready for you.Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didnt you protest?Why were you silent?Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)to be such a fool?”Embarrassed,she smiled.And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and,to her great surprise,gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out.I looked at her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”25While talking to Julia,the author expected from her.A.a protestB.gratitudeC.obedienceD.an

worry about Julias futureC.his concern on the living condition of working-class peopleD.his sympathy for the mental state of the

for a woman to do that.I got a taste of that dream in 2001,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday.But the experience turned out to be very dull.Around that time,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive.So when our retirement community(社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have,I decided to write about my dream.In the essay,I wrote about my desire to skydive,stating George Bush Sr did it at age 80.Why not me?I was just 84 and in pretty good health.A year went by and I heard nothing.But then at a community party in late April 2009,they announced that I was one of the winners.I just couldnt believe it.Inspired by this,I decided to realize my dream,even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11,2009,nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane.My instructor,Jay,guided me through the experience.The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in,but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience.When we reached 13,000 feet,Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane.When we first hit the air,the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe.For a second I thought,“What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer.We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞),then we just floated downward for about five minutes.Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air ballon.I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life.I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old.If theres something you want to experience,look into it.If its something that is possible,make it happen.29What happened to the author in 2001?A.She flew an airplane.B.She entered a competition.C.She went on a hot air balloon ride.D.She moved into a retirement community.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“Igotatasteofthatdreamin2001,whenmyhusbandarrangedformetorideinahotairballoonformybirthday.”可知,C项正确。由文中第一句“.Ialwayswantedtoflyaplane”以及后文中并没有提及作者flewaplane,因此A项错误;由第二段第四、五句“Ayearwent.2009”可知,参加作文比赛不是在2001年,B项错误;D项文章没提及。故选C项。30The author mentioned George Bush Sr in her essay to .A.build up her own reputationB.show her admiration for himC.compare their health conditionD.make her argument persuasive答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二、三句“Whynotme?Iwasjust84andinprettygoodhealth.”可知,我身体很好,岁数相仿,别人能行,我为什么不行?提及乔治布什是给自己的想法和行动提供有力的支持,使我的做法更有说服力。所以排除B、C两项,D项符合题意。作者仅仅是实现自己的梦想,并不是赢得名声,所以A项错误。31How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A.Excited.B.Scared.C.Nervous.D.Regretful.答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第五句和第六句“.ForasecondIthought,WhathaveIgottenmyselfinto?”可知,D项符合题意。32What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A.The beautiful clouds.B.The wonderful view.C.The company of Jay.D.The one-minute free fall.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段倒数后两句“Beingupintheclouds.Iwasjustenjoyingit.”可知,B项符合题意。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。EmpathyLast year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.33 Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed,a co-director of a teen program,has another explanation.Turn on the TV,and youre showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect.34There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature.35 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect.Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers.36“Academics are important.But if you dont have emotional (情感的) intelligence,you wont be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.Whats the best way to up your EQ (情商)? For starters,let down your guard and really listen to others.37To really develop empathy,youd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital,join a club or a team that has a diverse membership,have a “sharing circle” with your family,or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A.Everyone is different,and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said.C.“One doesnt develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.D.Humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E.Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else both what they think and how they feel.F.Good social skills including empathy are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.答案：3337 BDGFC三、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Harriet Tubman was born a slave.She didnt get a 3
