9．What parents owe their children？
I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education．If they can afford it，they can certainly send them to the best universities．But they must not feel guilty if they can't If the children really want to go，they'll find away．There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager ones who can't afford to pay．
When children grow up and want to get married  their parents do not owe them a down payment on a  house．They do not have the duty to baby-sit their grandchildren If they want to do it must be considered  a favor not an obligation．
Do parents owe their children anything？Yes，they owe them a great deal．
One of their obligation is to give their children a personal worth．A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy．constantly compared with brighter brothers，sisters，or cousins will become so unsure，so he/she is afraid of failing that he/she won't try at all．Of course they should be properly corrected  when they do wrong，but it's often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time．All our parents should do is to trust them  respect them，tolerate them and give them chances to try and fail．They must learn to stand failure．When criticisms are really needed，they should be balanced with a smile and a
Kiss．That is the way children learn．
Parents owe their children a set of solid values to build their lives．This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others； it means being respectful to elders，to teachers，and to the law The best way to teach such values is by deeds．A child who sees no laughter and no love at home will have difficulty in laughing and loving．
No child asks to be born．If you bring  a life into the world，you owe the child something．

50．According to the author，C．
A．parents must support their children even after they married
B．parents should give their children a down payment on a house
C．parents needn't feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to universities
D．if parents can't afford the tuition，they should take loans to send their children to go to colleges
51．The author mainly talks about in this passageA．
A．the duties of the parents
B．why parents owe their children something
C．the best way for parents to teach their children
D．the reason why children feel stupid and unworthy
52．According to the author，what should parents do when children make mistakes？C
A．Criticize and correct them immediately．
B．Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters．
C．Let'children learn their mistakes by themselves in time．
D．Tolerate them and tell their children not to mistakes again．

分析 文章講的是父母對孩子的教育問題．父母有責(zé)任教孩子做人的道理，幫助孩子樹立正確的人生觀和價(jià)值觀．但是父母沒有義務(wù)讓孩子接受高等教育，當(dāng)孩子長大以后，父母沒有義務(wù)幫孩子買房，也沒有義務(wù)照看子女的小孩．

解答 50．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段：But they must not feel guilty if they can't If the children really want to go，they'll find away可知父母不用感到內(nèi)疚，如果他們無法送孩子上大學(xué)；故選C．
51．A．主旨大意題．根據(jù)最后一段：No child asks to be born．If you bring  a life into the world，you owe the child something可知文章主要論述了父母的職責(zé)，父母有責(zé)任教孩子做人的道理，幫助孩子樹立正確的人生觀和價(jià)值觀．但是父母沒有義務(wù)讓孩子接受高等教育；故選A．
52．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段：Of course they should be properly corrected  when they do wrong，but it's often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time可知他們應(yīng)該適當(dāng)?shù)匦拚龝r(shí)他們做錯(cuò)事，但它往往是更好的讓孩子學(xué)習(xí)自己的錯(cuò)誤；故選C．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

19．Welcome to the world of multitasking-a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time．In fact，if experts are to be believed，multitasking is a disastrous idea．
One of the opponents of multitasking is Dr．Clifford Nass，a professor at Stanford University．"People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention； they're worse at managing their memory．"he said．In his opinion，the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations，for example，part of doing business in the digital world：but you can't do serious work like writing，thinking or solving an important problem this way．You do worse even as you think you're doing better．All the time the research points to a simple fact：the brain cannot cope．When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email，you force your brain to stop and regroup．It is like pressing the pause button during a movie，meaning the film takes longer to watch．
And as for Dr．Nass，the problems extend beyond the brain．Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don't．They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again．Todd Oppenheimer，a writer said"We've become a very short-term society and don't reward people for taking a lot of time on something．"He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers．"It's really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world-environmental issues，financial issues-require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do．And it's no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don't multitask．"

29．According to Dr．Nass，multitaskingD．
A．makes the performance emotionally affected only
B．contributes to memorizing various things
C．may result in losing the next generation of great thinkers
D．can be performed using digital tools
30．From the passage，we can tellB．
A．the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless
B．we mistakenly believe that we're doing better by switching between tasks
C．doing multitasking does harm to us in every area
D．for every task you add to your multitasking，you can finish your goal quicker
31．Which of the following is a multitasking addict？C
A．You turn your cellphone to silence when you're out to dine with friends．
B．You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD．
C．You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects．
D．You feel that when you try to do too much at once，the result always suffers．
32．The author mainly wants to tell usA．
A．the less you switch，the better you do
B．it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed way
C．it takes longer for us to become a great thinker
D．we shouldn't be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasks．

20．Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings．
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities．It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions，ocean drilling，and ship engines．Such noises are added to natural sounds．These sounds include the breaking of ice fields，underwater earthquakes，and sounds made by animals themselves．
Decibels （分貝） measured in water are different from those measured on land．A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears．In water，a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect．
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans．They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鯨魚）．
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals．
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing．This seriously affected the whales'ability to exchange information and find their way．Some of the whales even died．The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected（被感染的）．
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels．They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research．
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals．However，many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed．They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．

26．According to the passage，which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures？C
A．The sound of  ______ cars．
B．The sound of voices．
C．Man-made noise pollution．
D．The sound of steps．
27．According to the passage，natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPTB．
A．sounds made by animals themselves   B．ocean drilling
C．underwater earthquakes              D．the breaking of ice fields
28．Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph？A
A．The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean．
B．Different places may have different types of noises．
C．The decibel is not a right unit （單位） for measuring underwater noise．
D．Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises．
29．Which of the following is true of whales？D
A．They won't be confused by noises．
B．They are deaf to noises．
C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by high-level noises．
D．Their hearing will be damaged by high-level noises．
30．According to the passage，what will scientists most probably do in the future？B
A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution．
B．They will protect animals from harmful noises．
C．They will try to set a limit of 120decibels．
D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution．

17．My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement．But we knew he loved us…h(huán)e just had his own way of showing it．
When I was a teen，we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived．Each family had their own campsite with water and electric，and you basically parked your camper there from May through October．Most"Seasonals"visited them every weekend during those months，with the occasional weeklong stay．There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend，and they came to be some of my closest friends．Of course，many of them were boys．
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends，and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground．We'd play ping-pong，have some snacks，and play songs．Most weekends were pretty similar，but the couples would change．You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before．You know how it is when you're a teen-a three-week relationship is a really long time．
So，needless to say，my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys．But every single one of them had something in common…they'd all received The Evil Eye．
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing．One simple look from my dad，and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me．It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys'brains．
"You will not put your hands on my daughter…You will not kiss my daughter…You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear．"
I remember one night in particular，walking with a boy around the campground after dark．We came from one direction，and my dad from the other．The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second，then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away，giving me a quick，"See you later．"
Yes，the Evil Eye．Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters．

56．The Evil Eye in the passage implies thatD．
A．Dad gets angry easily
B．Dad's eyes are like evil's
C．Dad's eyes are ugly-looking   
D．Dad's eyes are protective to his daughter
57．The underlined words"mess with"in paragraph 5most probably meansB．
A．make untidy  B．cause trouble  C．get married to  D．talk to
58．It can be inferred from the passage that the authorC．
A．is a teenage girl who loves her father
B．is a teenage boy who hates his father
C．is now an adult who has come to understand her father's love
D．used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then．

4．Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to ensure a pleasant visit，find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts．
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．If you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia，some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝） after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．But in some other countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"Excuse me，please．"
In many places，people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together．People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself．Also in India，you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree．But in most parts of India，a shake of the head is a gesture that expresses agreement or acceptance．Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty． In that country Bulgaria，you shake your head to mean"yes"-a nod means"no"．
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone，even at an important meeting．Doing this when you are meeting an important person in Thailand，however，could cause offence．It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion．Also try to avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done in Thailand．
Attitudes to women vary much around the world．In Japan，for example，it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home．
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling，but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality（禮節(jié)）．
51．In Mongolia，if you give a loud burp after eating，your friends will be veryC．
A．surprised             B．sorry            C．happy               D．upset
52．Where do people eat back to back？A
A．In Polynesia          B．In Mongolia     C．In Japan             D．In India
53．From the passage，we know that shaking head means"yes"inD．
A．Thailand          B．Mongolia        C．Japan            D．Bulgaria
54．The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty．"MeansA．
A．you are probably not to be served a drink when you nod your head
B．you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
C．it's probable that you are thirsty if you nod your head
D．you'd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head
55．According to the passage，which attitude to women is usual in Japan？B
A．Men always go to parties with women．
B．Men plan evening entertainments for themselves，while their wives stay at home．
C．Men and women have equal rights to go to parties．
D．Men plan evening entertainments for their wives．

14．Every electronic gadget （小玩意） needs good memory．A music player stores songs，albums and playlists．A computer holds schoolwork and programs and remembers how far a player has advanced in his or her favorite game．Mobile phones store names，numbers and hundreds of texts．
Now，scientists in California say they have come up with a way to turn a living cell into a memory device．
It can store only one tiny bit of information，but it's a start．In the future，a cell-based gadget might travel through the body and record measurements．The benefit to human health could be big：the right tool，for example，might record the earliest signs of disease．
Doctors，scientists and other curious people want to know what is happening inside the body，even at levels that can't be seen by the naked eye．So far，there is no device small enough to travel through the bloodstream．
If normal machines won't do the trick，perhaps biology will．Scientists who work in the field of synthetic （合成的） biology are trying to find ways to turn living things into human tools．In the case of the new memory device，bioengineers from Stanford University used the genetic material inside living cells to record information．
This genetic material consists of DNA．Found in nearly every cell，DNA carries all of the information that keeps a living thing alive．
In the new experiment，the researchers turned DNA from bacteria（細(xì)菌） into a switch．They"flip （翻轉(zhuǎn)）"a small section of DNA．Then，using the same procedure （過程），the scientists flip the section again-returning it into its normal structure．
Using these DNA switches，"We can write and erase DNA in a living cell，"bioengineer，Jerome Bonnet，explained to Science News．
It might take years before his team or others identity whether a DNA-based memory device might be practical．Right now，it takes one hour to complete a flip．That is far too long to be useful．Plus，a flipped section has a very small little memory-less than what a computer uses to remember a single letter．
"This was an important proof that it was doable，"Bonnet told Science News．"Now we want to build a more complex system，something that other people can use．"
67．What is the aim of listing the electronic things in the first paragraph？D
A．To make the passage more fashionable．
B．To show how electronic things have memory．
C．To discuss things in detail．
D．To make the subject of the text more understandable．
68．What is possible future benefit of the cell-based gadget for people？A   A．To detect disease at the earliest point．
B．To help improve the memory．
C．To help people build a body．
D．To replace many electronic gadgets．
69．What is the object being researched？B
A．The cells of bacteria．
B．The DNA of bacteria．
C．A section of bacteria．
D．The nucleus of bacteria．
70．What do we know about a flipped section of DNA？A
A．It has a very small memory．
B．It can function as a computer．
C．It has one letter in it．
D．It takes a day to complete it．

18．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!Suddenly，his father's words came to him．"When you are in a tight situation，don't panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．"
On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"But Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson．Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．

21．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier？D
A．He was riding to school．
B．He was listening to a strange sound．
C．He was going fishing with his father．

19．Treetops，the hotel in the trees，are famous in the world．Peop1e know little about Kenya，but they know of Treetops．When King George VI died，Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops，and when she came down from there，"She succeeded him as the queen of the country"．
The hotel is in the middle of the forest，and it shows the pleasure of Africa．When you visit it，you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses，and then a guide，with a gun to protect you against big game，will go with you to the Treetops．Before and after dinner，for the whole night if you wish，you can sit on the corridor（走廊），watching animals come to the water pool．The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water，but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops，which is built round several trees，is much bigger．
The dining room at Treetops is small，and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests，so a clever"railway service"has been invented．Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them，along a line in the center of the table．
There are many animals around the Treetops．When you visit them，you can see：

---Animals，enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight．
---A long bodied，long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night．He hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive．He lives in the trees at Treetops．He comes for his food every evening．Do not get too near to him，as his teeth and claws（爪）can do you harm．These animals can be trained and become lovely pets．
