Yet, despite the petition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a petition she won last year. As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the strange thing about 英语试题卷第 4 页（共 10 页） being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface. A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, Dont you want to win again? No, she replied, I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade. I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly guided by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughters experience. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices. 41. What do we learn from the first paragraph? A. Many senseless activities pete for childrens time nowadays. B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities today. C. Rebecca benefits a lot from the online materials for her writing. D. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time. 42. What did the writer say about her own writing experience? A. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. C. There are pains as well as gains in her writing career. D. She could no longer stand any pressure from writing. 43. Why did Rebecca want to enter this years writing contest? A. She believed she possessed real talent for writing. B. She simply intended to share her story with readers. C. She was sure of winning with her mothers help. D. She had won a prize in the previous contest. 44. From the underlined part in Paragraph 4 we can infer that the writer _. A. had unconsciously done too much while correcting her daughters story B. had already offered practical suggestions for her daughters story C. had nearly replaced her daughter to take part in the contest D. had successfully turned her daughter into a young writer 45. Whats the writers advice for parents? A. Parents should spare no effort to make their children successful writers. B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their children engage in. C. Children should be given proper guidance to bee more excellent. D. Children should be allowed more freedom to grow through experience. 英语试题卷第 5 页（共 10 页） B The British Museum is a museum dedicated to human history, art, and culture, located in the Bloomsburyarea of London.

C When University of California-Berkeley released a study this month showing alarmingly high teacher turnover (人员流动) rates at Los Angeles charter (特许) schools, I wasnt surprised. Thats not shocking news at local charter schools. Its just that the study reminded me of something Id observed many times, starting with my niece. Bright and cheerful, my niece longed to teach high-needs children. She started out in the San Francisco public schools, where she was assigned to the districts toughest elementary school. Fifth-graders threw chairs across the room and at her. Parents refused to show up for conferences. She wasnt willing to deal with this level of indifference and teacher abuse, so she switched to a highly regarded charter elementary school in the Bay Area where she poured her energy into her job and it showed. Her students test scores were as high as those in a nearby wealthy school district, despite the obstacles these children faced. By her fourth year, however, my niece was worn out, running out of the energy it took to work with a classroom of sweet but deeply needy children who begged to stay in her classroom when it was time to leave. The principals offer of a $10,000 raise couldnt stop her from giving notice. She went to work at that wealthy school district next door for less money. Over the years, Ive met many teachers who have a passion for their work at charter schools, only to call them the next year and find theyve left. The authors of the Berkeley study hold the belief that the teachers leave because of the extraordinary demands: long hours, intense involvement in students plicated lives, continual searches for new ways to raise scores. Even the strongest supporters of the reform movement acknowledge that raising achievement among disadvantaged students is the most challenging task. Its unlikely that we can build large-scale school reform on a platform of continual new demands on teachers more time, more energy, more devotion, more responsibility even if schools find ways to pay them better. 英语试题卷第 7 页（共 10 页） This is the bigger challenge facing schools.

She had participated in the Berkeley study. C. She had noticed the phenomenon repeatedly. D. She had been warned of the problem by the media. 51. What can we learn about the students in the public school the authors niece taught? A. They were clever and cheerful. B. They were not disciplined. C. They were indifferent to each other. D. They were forced to learn by their parents. 52. The authors niece left the charter elementary school in the Bay Area because _. A. her hard work and devotion didnt pay off B. her work was not well received by the children C. the demanding work made her exhausted D. the mean principle offered her a low salary 53. Which of the following is probably the most difficult for teachers? A. Raising disadvantaged students scores. B. Frequent involvement in students lives. C. Indifference from students parents. D. Long working time and much energy. 54. What is the authors ment on the current school reform movement? A. It will have a positive impact on education. B. It tends to be unsuccessful. C. It will make teachers more motivated. D. It demands more fund to meet the challenge. D Mine was, at times, a lonely childhood. Born in Chungking, China, of missionary (传教士) parents, I lost my mother at birth. I was two months old when my father sent me to Mothers favorite sister in Morgantown, West Virginia. There I grew up in the house where Mother had spent her girlhood. In the evening, before Aunt Ruth came home, I often sat on the floor beneath a picture of my mother a sweet-faced young woman of 20, with dark eyes and black curly hair. There was one question always in my mind: What was my mother like? If only I could have known her! Twenty years passed. I had grown up, married and had a baby, named Lucy for her grandmother the mother Id so longed to know. One spring morning, 18-month-old Lucy and I boarded a train for Morgantown to visit Aunt Ruth. A woman offered me half her seat in the crowded car. I thanked her and busied myself with Lucy, while the woman turned her attention to the landscape speeding by. After settling my baby in my arms for a nap, I started to talk with the woman. She said she was going to Morgantown to see her daughter and brand-new grandson. Surely you know my aunt, Ruth Wood, I said. Shes had a real-estate office in Morgantown for years. No, she answered. Ive been away a long time, and that name is not familiar to me. For several minutes, the woman looked out of the window. Then, without turning her head, she began to speak. There was a Miss Lucy Wood, a teacher, in Morgantown years ago. She probably left there before you were 英语试题卷第 8 页（共 10 页） born. You said the name Wood, and, suddenly, I cant stop thinking about her. I havent thought of her for years, but once I loved her very much. She was my teacher. My parents owned a bakery on Watts Street. They were on the verge of divorce. They fought and quarreled all the time. I had to work very hard at home and in the bakery, too. I loved school, though I didnt make good grades. Miss Woods room was a happy place; it seemed like heaven to me. One day, after my folks had a big fight at breakfast, I came to school late, holding back the tears. Miss Wood kept me after school. I thought she would scold me but, instead, she let me tell her my troubles. She made me feel how much my brothers and sisters, and even my parents, needed me and from that day on, my life was worth living. A few months later, I heard a little girl say: Miss Woods going to marry a missionary and live in China! I went home crying. My parents stopped in the middle of a fight to ask me what was wrong, but they could not know how great a light was going out in my life. I c
