Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lins immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?【语篇解读】林书豪的成功，使人们开始反思什么是最合适的教育方式。家长是应该把自己的意愿强加给孩子还是发挥孩子的特长呢？1Bobs glory days were those Awhen he was doing well in mathBwhen he was in second gradeCwhen he was made mayor of his buildingDwhen he showed his talents in sports【解析】推理判断题。根据文章一、二两段内容可知，鲍勃20多岁时在体育方面的表现很优秀，由此可推知，鲍勃最辉煌的时期应是他在体育运动中展现他的特长时。【答案】D2From the passage we can tell that Bob is Aactive and optimisticBclever and determinedCbrave and helpfulDconsiderate and independent【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的第三、四、五句内容可知，鲍勃积极、乐观，故应选A项。【答案】A3Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?ABob was always ignored by his parents.BBob could also have been a sport star.CBobs parents often watched his games.DNobody in the authors family was a doctor.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容可知，鲍勃曾经在体育方面的表现非常优秀，多次获奖，若能坚持下去，他也许会成为一名体育明星，故B项正确。【答案】B4From the last two paragraphs we can infer that Aparents should always study together with their childrenBparents should know how to educate their children properlyCchildren should be punished when they do anything wrongDchildren should try to live up to the hopes of their parents【解析】推理判断题。在文章最后两段中，作者用反问句暗示出家长应该给孩子正确的教育，而不是强迫他们做这做那。【答案】BBWhy do so many people assume that just because we are “higher beings”，we can feel love，sorrow，pain，or joy more acutely than other creatures？The fact that so many people do feel this way was brought to my attention after the recent death of a horse.The horse，Triumph，died not long ago.Triumph had lived much of his life with another horse，Wolf.They were just like brothers，fighting，kicking，and biting for hours，only to turn around and share each others food.When Triumph died，the worry turned to Wolf.Many a scientist will refuse to admit the ability of a horse to feel the loss of another more deeply than the simple absence of a packmate.However，this was proved thoroughly untrue to me after Triumphs death.Triumph was buried a respectful distance from the rest of the horses，but Wolf was placed as near to the grave as possible.The morning after Triumphs death，Wolf could be seen staring sadly at his brothers grave，his food unfinished.After about 20 minutes of this，the oldest mare (母马) of the herd bit his neck gently and led him slowly to the water trough (饮水槽)Wolf followed，like he could do nothing else.After watching him drink，the old mare again bit him，and walked away to finish her food.Wolf seemed to take this as an order，and slowly began to finish his own food.Anyone who questions an animals ability to mourn has never seen what I saw that day.I had never seen a horse look so heartbroken.As Wolf stood sadly near the fence，each horse individually came and stood with him，gently pushing his nose or nickering (嘶叫) softly.It was clear that they were paying their respects to his loss，exactly like any funeral.The emotions I saw in Wolfs eyes that day were just as acute as any persons.Without experiencing what I felt that day，no one can be expected to understand my view of animal emotions.【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者通过描述马失去同伴后的情感表现，说明动物也有情感。5What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo remind us to love animals.BTo show animals acute emotions.CTo tell a heartbreaking story about animals.DTo compare human emotions with animal emotions.【解析】写作意图题。文章讲述了一匹名叫Triumph的马死后，其同伴Wolf悲痛哀悼的故事，意在表明动物也有自己的情感。【答案】B6From Wolfs behavior after the death of Triumph，we can see that AWolf gave up hope of his own lifeBWolf asked the other horses for helpCWolf became saddened by the death of TriumphDWolf felt sorry about what he had done to Triumph【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的“feel the loss of another”和第三段的“Wolf could be seen staring sadly at his brothers grave”可知，Wolf因Triumph的死而悲伤。【答案】C7Which of the following words can be used to describe the mare?AStrong.BConfident.CTolerant.DConsiderate.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段对这匹母马的一些行为的描述可知，她是体贴周到的。【答案】D8How did the other horses react after the loss of Triumph?AThey expressed deep concern for Wolf.BThey were unconcerned with Wolf.CThey didnt know what to do.DThey were heartbroken.【解析】细节理解题。从第四段的“each horse individually came and stood with him”和“It was clear that they were paying their respects to his loss，exactly like any funeral.”可知答案。【答案】A.语法填空Seventyfouryearolds are 1. most contented people in the world，according to a new research.2 (few) responsibilities，financial worries and more free time lead to contentment previously unknown in earlier life.According to the research，happiness 3.
