As their father, I often say things that are unpopular. If they hate me once in a while, I know Im doing a good job.There are three other words that I wont allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes welled up with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe it. I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, theyve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume theyll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it wont work out.I know this is true, because I didnt have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling in many areas, and Id hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact Id very much like to avoid for my children. I dont fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.21. How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?A. Depressed.B. Annoyed.C. Unconcerned.D. Excited.22. Why wont the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?A. Because the impact of thinking in this way is negative.B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.C. Because it doesnt make any sense to blame oneself.D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.23. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?A. e to an endB. continue to existC. begin to changeD. bee out of dateBOn March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patricks Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.Most Americans think of Saint Patricks Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.In the early 1900s, Irelands government made St. Patricks Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patricks Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patricks Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patricks Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day. Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patricks Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people its quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.24. How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patricks Day in the 17th century?A. Drinking alcohol. B. Parading in the streets.C. Attending church services peacefully. D. Coloring well-known monuments green.25. What can we learn from the passage?A. Saint Patricks Day is the most significant day in the US.B. Saint Patricks Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.C. Saint Patricks Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.D. On Saint Patricks Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of Saint Patricks Day.B. The celebration of Saint Patricks Day.C. The influence of Saint Patricks Day on the world.D. The role of Saint Patricks Day in Irish diplomacy.27. What is Cronins attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patricks Day?A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Positive.CUnderneath the Greenland ice sheet lies a body of water covering an area larger than West Virginia, and until just a few years ago, scientists had no idea that it existed.First discovered in xx, scientists now believe it covers some 27, 000 square miles and contains more than 100 billion tons of liquid water.The melt-water reservoir (蓄水池) was discovered under the ice, in a south-eastern part of Greenland, by researchers from the University of Utah about two years ago. According to the BBC, at first the researchers expected to find waters stored in small spaces between the rocks. What they actually found was a massive reservoir of water trapped in the ice, kind of like the liquid in a snow-cone. Newser quotes lead study author Richard Forster saying, “we thought we had an understanding of how things work in Greenland, but here is this entire storage system of water we didnt realize was there.” OK, so snow water under the ice in Greenland; why is this a big deal? Well, researchers say it could provide new clues to understanding Greenlands ice melts and sea level rise in general. Voice of America quotes Forster saying, “of the present sea level rise, the Greenland ice sheet is the largest contributor, and it is melting at record levels, so understanding the aquifers (地下蓄水层) capacity to store water from year to year is important, because it fills a major gap in the overall connection of melt-water runoff and sea levels.” According to researchers, the water is 15 to 60 feet beneath the surface and likely stays fluid because its covered by snow. Theyre unsure how old the reservoir is or whether it flows into the ocean. 28. What is true about the water newly found in Greenland?A. It is probably in the form of liquid.B. It is widely stored between the rocks.C. It finally flows into the ocean.D. It came into being only a few years ago.29. The discovery of water in Greenland is very important because _.A. it confirms scientists previous guess about the storage of water in GreenlandB. it throws new light on the relation between Greenlands melt water and sea level riseC. it provides information about the possible amount of water storage in GreenlandD. it solves the problem of the shortage of fresh water in the world for good30. What will be the best title of the passage?A. Ice Sheet in Greenland Melting at Alarming SpeedB. Greenland Ice Sheet Contributing to Rapid Sea Level RiseC. Billions of Tons of Water Found under Greenland Ice SheetD. Scientists Predicting Massive Underground Water in Greenland第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。England is the perfect place for you to travel to if youre thinking about taking your first abroad trip.

So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their high living standard so they didnt mind paying a lot for it. After purchasing everything they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, not very healthy looking. His clothes were torn and he looked as if he wasnt even able to meet his daily needs.They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. The old porter quoted just a $20, a price well below the market rate for delivering goods at couples home in his cart. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn.The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, two hours passed, but the porter still hadnt delivered their stuff. The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person but you never listen to me. Such a person is not even able to earn to feed himself for one time in a day, and you handed him everything we purchased for our big party. I am sure instead of delivering at our home, he must have disappeared with everything.
