An analysis of the current situation shows 48 the majority of students are willing to seek support and advice from their teachers, 49 are mostly reliable listeners with love and concern for their students. 50 , some students are unwilling to communicate with their teachers because, to them, teachers represent a kind of authority(权威) and focus too much 51 the study of the students.

With two teenage boys and three little boys, our family is restlessto the baseball field, track field(田径场)and piano lessons. Even though weve limited each boys activities and try our best to defend our family time, it seems that were in a constant state of flight. “Embrace it. Roll with it,” my husband, Lonny, says, “Its going to be like this for a while.”He is right. Its likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the still, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys little hands. I longed for(渴望) lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to slip back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule.One night, after a particularly full day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch(门廊)for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys piled on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a small slice of time. The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I wrapped my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed deeply to inhale his little-boy scent(气味)dirt and sweat. My heart was still and content(满足的).I realized that while crazy is our new normal happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still thereeven if theyre in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.56. What does the author mainly talk about?

But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable grocery bags sold by some supermarkets contain high levels of lead(铅). Lead is a metal that can be harmful to humans, especially young children, Now, Senator Charles Schumer is asking the US government to investigate(调查) the use of lead in reusable shopping bags.“When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.” Schumer added.Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off (因摩擦而粘在上面)on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(释放).The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product. The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.61. The shopping bags containing high levels of lead _. A. have been reported by a newspaper B. have been stopped by the government C. have stopped people from using reusable bags D. have caused serious health damage to customers62. From Schumers words we can learn that _. A. reusable bags do little harm to kids health B. people have shown much concern for the reusable bags C. people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags D. people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets63. It can be inferred from the text that Publix might believe that the bags they sold are _. A. dependable B. convenient C. harmful D. popular64. Customers are advised to choose bags _. A. with colorful designs B. with fancy pictures C. made of plastic D. made of paper65. From the last paragraph we know that the use of reusable bags has _. A. caused Publix a lot of trouble B. saved Publix much money C. cost Publix plenty of money D. been proved a wrong decisionPART FOUR WRITINGDirections: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.As we all know, all the governments in the world collect taxes（税）, but what are they and what are they used for? Some people may not know about them.There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income-taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation.Taxes, therefore, cant be avoided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.Title: 66 are necessary in our lifeSources(来源)PeopleTaxes_67_of taxesTax-payers 68 People whose income is over a certain amountIndirect tax_69_ 70 Taxes 71 On safety 72 On education 73 74 Officials and workersOn development 75 Section BDirections: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.根据下列表格中的内容写一篇日记时 间5月1日，星期天，天气晴朗地 点浏阳大围山抵达方式乘校车出发时间上午7：30到达时间上午9：30活动内容上午：从山脚沿小溪爬到山顶，沿途观赏珍稀植物；在饭店吃午饭下午： 在草坪讲故事、背诗歌、玩游戏返校时间4：00注意： 1日记须包括表中所有内容，可以适当增加细节和感想，使日记连贯完整。2日记的开头已为你写好，不记入总词数。3词数：1004参考词汇：小溪：brook 珍稀：rareMay 1 SundaySunnyToday my classmates and I visited the Dawei Mountain. 答案听力理解1.
