One dad doesnt know how to do his daughters hair, so some people try to help himAnother one must survive with his son for three days in the desert because the father cant cook, they only eat instant noodles Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kidsThe show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids.” In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kindBut on the show, we see fathers who are much gentle on their kids and more involved in their upbringing （成长）.” said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education. In the past, children were taught their parents wishes and look after them in their old ageBut today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting their childrens choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern societyAs they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time.56According to the passage, what didnt the fathers and their children do on the show?ARode camels BSold vegetables CClimbed the mountains DFished on the east coast57One father and his son only eat instant noodles because _.Athere arent ant vegetables in the desert.Bthey have no money to buy

the show.BChildren were told to obey their parents wishes in the past.CParents can also learn something when they raise their children.DIn traditional Chinese culture, parents are both strict with their kids.BWhen I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apartWe always had totally different opinionsHe thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish collegeHe wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different lifeThere was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor healthWhen he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously illI am his only child and so it was time to meet my fathers requirementTwo weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing againFishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyedIt is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind usWe are able to talk about things that we have never talked about beforeFishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apartIt is not important how many fish we catchIt is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for yearsIm 62 and he is 84When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying lifeIt is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behindI am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last yearsNow my heart is filled with loveA smile always graces my lips61The author and his father became further apart because_Athey had different views on things Bthey lived very far from each otherCthey

intended me to be a fisherman.CI was unwilling to e back.DFather used to think it was useless to attend college.65What can be the best title for the text?AForgiving Is Difficult BMy Beloved Father CMemories of Old Days DFishing Brings Us TogetherCSpending as little as $ 5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia found.Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on otherseven if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn，” said Elizabeth Dunn，a psychologist at the University of British ColumbiaThey asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual ine and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“No matter how much ine each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not，” Dunn said in a statement.Dunns team also surveyed 16 employees at a pany in Boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus of between $ 3,000 and $ 8,000“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself，” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $ 5 or $ 20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend itThose who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocationsas little as $ 5may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，” Dunn said.66The underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means_.Ahelp to find Bhelp to increaseChelp to bring Dhelp to get67Dunn is _.Aan employee in a pany Ba reporter in a journal Ca psychologist at a university Da volunteer in the experiment68Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AThose who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.BPeople usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.CVery small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.DResearchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.69What is the general idea of the passage?AThe more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.BSpending more money on yourself will make you happier.CYou can spend only $ 5 a day on someone else to get happiness.DIf you spend money on someone else, you will feel happier.70It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that _.Athe volunteers not given $ 5 or $ 20 spent their own money on themselvesBthose who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about itChalf of the volunteers could spend the money as they likedDthe volunteers were given $ 5 or $ 20 as a reward for the experimentDSocieties all over the world name places in similar waysQuite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by peopleThen an organized body steps in and gives the place a nameFrequently it happens that a place has two names：one is named by the people and the other by the governmentAs in many areas, old habits die_ hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore （新加坡） are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generationsThus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles PlaceThis is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other placesPerhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named afterThe mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British basesIf you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those placesBras Basah Road is an interesting example“Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay （马来语）Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”？ The reason is simpleDuring the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapesThere is “Circular Road” for oneOther roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes，like “Paya Lebar Crescent”This road is called a crescent （月牙） because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and es back to join the main road again.71We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.Athe government is usually the first to name a placeBa ceremony will be held when a place is namedCmany places tend to have more than one nameDpeople prefer the place names given by the government72What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AChange suddenly BChange significantly.CDisappear very slowly DDisappear mysteriously.73Which of the following places is named after a person?ASelector Airbase BRaffles Place.CPiccadilly Circus DPaya Lebar Crescent.74Bras Basah Road is named _.Aafter an activity Bafter a placeCafter a person Dby its shape75What can be inferred from the passage?AYoung Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.BSome places in Singapore are named for military purposes.CThe way Singaporeans name their places is unique.DSome place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节
