【題目】Almost a year after Michael Jackson s death, the spirit of King of Pop appears to live on a 4-year-old Chinese boy, who is fast becoming internationally popular.

Wang Yiming, who is known as Xiao Bao, has already been making waves across the world with his dance moves.

A favorite of Chinese media, Xiao Bao draws curious crowds whenever he breaks into a dance routine, which his mother says happens almost every time he hears music. "When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving around like this，"his mother said. "When he was just a couple of months old, we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down，" she told Reuters Television.

Xiao Bao was born prematurely (早產(chǎn)），and doc-tors suggested moving his body to music would do good to him, but his parents were surprised by how quickly and interestedly he took to the rhythm.

Dancing since he was two years old, he has now mastered the moon walk and other Jackson moves, such as Beat It, Billie Jean and Dangerous.

Before long, his passion turned into an obsession (著迷）——the family spends up to 20，000 yuan a month on dance training with a professional and outfits including tailor-made suits, hats and shirts.

Xiao Bao is serious about his dancing career and says he will not mind becoming famous one day. But his parents say that no matter how talented their son is, his schooling will be their first choice.

【1】 What Xiao Bao's mother said suggested that __________.

A. she didn't expect her son to take up music

B. Xiao Bao had a strong love for music

C. she taught him music when Xiao Bao was young

D. she was very sad at the beginning

【2】 How did Xiao Bao's parents feel when they saw his reaction to music?

A. Amazed.

B. Happy.

C. Angry.

D. Anxious.

【3】 We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. his parents taught him the moonwalk

B. he began to perform on stage at two

C. moonwalk moves were first done by Jackson

D. his parents found him hard to please

【4】 The underlined word "outfits" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. clothes

B. shoes

C. bags

D. tools

【答案】【1】 B

【2】 A

【3】 C

【4】 A

【解析】【1】 推理判斷題。由文章第三段小寶的媽媽所說的話，我們可以推斷出他從小就熱愛音樂，B項正確。

【2】 細節(jié)理解題。由文章第四段中". . . but his parents were surprised by how quickly and interestedly he took to the rhythm. ”可知A項正確。amazed吃驚的意思 surprised。

【3】 推理判斷題。由文章第五段中“. . . he has now mastered the moonwalk and other Jackson moves. . . ” 可知moonwalk最先為Jackson所做。

【4】 詞義猜測題。由后面的 including tailor-made suits, hats and shirts可知，該詞意為“衣服”。

Introduction to anger

Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive side of this negative emotion is that it has helped us to evolve as humans and cope in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too.

We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance of finding a solution to your problem. Besides, there are no better stress relievers than humor. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is becoming unmanageable, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.

Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuse all the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are successful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life.

Meditation (冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend to cause anger.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people. Now，a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.

The survey covering 21 countries，conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization，showed Chinese students excelled at math，beating their peers from other countries. But when it came to using their imagination，they were tied for the last place. And in creativity，they were fifth from the bottom.

The survey results are not shocking，given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.

Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams. Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And to pass those exams，they are made to learn by fixed standard answers.

Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box. Teachers don't like students questioning them，killing the curiosity of the young minds. For children，there's hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.

Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead，they encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast，Chinese parents go to extremes，allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a “mistake”．

The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our children's imagination and creativity blossom.

【1】Based on the passage，the creativity of the Chinese students ranks ________ among the 21 countries.

A．the 5th

B．the 17th

C．the 21st

D．the 1st

【2】Why is the imagination of the Chinese students so poor?

A．Their parents often improve their educational ways.

B．They are thought to be lacking in curiosity.

C．Their teachers are afraid of being questioned.

D．They are not encouraged to imagine both at home and in class.

【3】What does the underlined word “mollycoddle” probably mean in Paragraph 6?

A．spoil

B．motivate

C．a(chǎn)ppreciate

D．scold

【4】It can be learned from the passage Israeli parents ________.

A．lay much more emphasis on education than Chinese ones

B．a(chǎn)llow their children to live in whatever way they like

C．focus more attention on developing their children's living ability

D．encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives

【5】Israel is introduced in the passage mainly ________.

A．to enrich the content of the text

B．to support and advocate Israel education

C．to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education

D．to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parents

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its carplane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2011.

“It's the next ‘wow’ vehicle，” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，F(xiàn)erraris don't fly.”

The carplane has wings that unfold for flying－a process the company says takes one minute－and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you're good to go. When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don't have to store it at an airport－you park it in the garage at home.

The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds，including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowin pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(臨界的) conditions.

The Transition's price tag：$194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute.

“If you get into a very awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.

So far，the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We're working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ________.

A．carplanes will be popular in 2011

B．people might drive a carplane in 2011

C．both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land

D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts

【2】It takes the carplane one minute to ________.

A．fold and unfold its wings

B．unfold wings for flying

C．land in the airport

D．meet flying safety regulations

【3】According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?

A．The carplane needs a runway to take off and land.

B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA.

C．The carplane may fly as high as normal planes.

D．People can park the carplane in the garage at their home.

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to ________.

A．the radio

B．the transponder

C．the GPS

D．the fullplane parachute

【5】What's the best title for the passage?

A．Cars with wings may be just around the corner

B．Which to choose：a Ferrari or a carplane?

C．A more convenient and cheaper way to fly

D．Cars with wings can fly as fast as planes

Dear Tom,

I’m an Australian boy of 16 years old, which lives in Sydney. I like Chinese very much, but I want a pen pal in China. At school I like playing football and tennis. Our favorite subject is science because it’s very interesting. I won’t like history, for I think it’s rather boring. I play guitar well, so I join in the school rock band. In the afternoon we usually play football or tennis. We usually got home at about 5:30 pm. For weekends I often go out for a swim, which is really relaxed. Do you like sports and games? What do you like to play?

I’m looking forward to get your early reply.

Yours truly,

Jack

【題目】How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(棲息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species(物種), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布區(qū)). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding(圈養(yǎng)繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

【1】In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.

A．remain in cages B．a(chǎn)ttack other animals

C．behave strangely D．enjoy moving around

【2】What does the author try to argue in the passage?

A．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animal

B．Zoos are not worth the public support.

C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings.

D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

【3】The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.

A．using evidence he has collected at zoos

B．pointing out the faults in what zoos do

C．questioning the way animals are protected

D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats

【4】Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that __________.

A．zoos have to keep animals in small cages

B．most animals in zoos are endangered species

C．it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

D．some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
