And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a _15_ childrens book. Either the author has aimed too _16_, so that children cant follow what is in his story, _17_ the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best childrens books are _18_too difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the children who hears the story and the adult who _19_ it. Unluckily, there are in fact few books like this, _20_ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as _21_ of childrens literature were in fact written for grow-ups. “Alice in Wonderland” is the most obvious (明显) of this. Children, left for themselves, often _22_ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most childrens comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections (排斥) of teachers and righting-thinking parents. Perhaps we parents should stop _23_ to brainwash（洗脑）children into accepting our taste in literature. _24_, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose well just have to compromise（妥协）over the bedtime story.15. A. short B. long C. bad D. good 16. A. high B. short C. easy D. difficult 17. A. and B. but C. or D. so 18.

Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.He heard Mama coming down the hall.“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider(蜘蛛).“Do what?” he asked.“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.“Dont think that just because its your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).“You do want your present, dont you?” That wiped the smile off Calvins face.“Course I do,” he said.“Then you apologize (道歉).”Calvin dropped his head. “Sorry Trudy,” he muttered (嘟囔).“Here,” Mama said. “Happy birthday.” At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist. “Youve got two tickets there,” Mama said, “and I know someone whod really love to go along.” She smiled at Trudy.“You dont mean here, do you?” Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.“Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody” Calvin didnt wait for his mother to finish. He rushed out of the house to tell Rodney, his friend next door, that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent.28. Who screamed at the beginning?A. Calvin. B. Calvins sister. C.

What is the best title for this passage?A. Trudys Spider B. Mothers Tickets C. Calvins Birthday D. Rodneys PresentCWherever I look outside my home, I see people busy on their high-tech devices (设备), while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality. People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word used by people to describe their relationship to Ipad, smart phones and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time getting away the attraction of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and wine. The main purpose of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. A number of people willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to catch up with people around them or to appear modern. I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-wasting technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude (奴役). It means a loss of personal freedom and independence（独立） because of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the important question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up mistakes about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain(重获) control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for praising the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But its time to discover that it does not work for technology. Richard Fernandez, an excellent coach at Google said that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection, people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without todays overused technology. 31. We can learn from this passage that people _. A. consider too much technology wonderful B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices D. may enjoy life better without overused technology 32. From the passage, technology companies_. A. improve peoples quality of life B.provide the latest information C. attract people to buy their products D.deal with cultural diseases33. Whats the writers opinion on the overusing of high-tech devices? A. He thinks the overusing of high-tech devices makes peoples life wonderful.B. Using high-tech devices when it is necessary rather than overusing it is a right choice.C. He is unsure if it is right to overuse high-tech devices. D. It makes no difference to people to overuse high-tech devices. DListen carefully to what I say.” the time traveler said. “I shall tell you something that you will not agree.” “Why will we not agree?” I asked. “Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” he said, “You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间）-length, breadth(宽）and thickness.” “There is nothing to agree with that,” the youngest member of our little group said. “Exactly!” the time traveler answered. “But there is also a fourth dimension-time.” “We all know about time,” another member of the group said,” Time passes.” “I do not agree,” the time traveler said. “Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in length, breadth and thickness.” None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours. “If we could travel back in time,” the scientist said, “we could do things to change the future.” “If we could travel forward in time,”the doctor(博士）said, “We could do things that change our present.” The time traveler smiled. “It is clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here.” He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock. “This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it.” The time traveler said, “I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately (立即) travel in time and disappear from present.” He turned to the youngest of us. “Give me your hand.” he said. The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared. I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure. “Are you asking us to believe,” he said, “that the machine is now in the different time?” “Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?” “Are you serious about this?” the doctor asked. “I have never been more serious about anything,” the time traveler said, “Come.” We followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.34. How many dimensions did the time traveler say there are?A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five35. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?a. The model time machine disappeared with a wind.b. The time traveler came back to the room with a model time machine.c. The members of the group argued with the time traveler for many hours.d. The time traveler showed them a full-size time machine which was not quite complete.e. The youngest mans hand was placed on the model time machine.A. e c a d b B. b c e a d C. c e b a d D. c b e a d36. What can we infer (推断) from the passage about the time traveler?A. He believed that they could move in time.B. He was playing a trick on a group of people.C. He sent the young man to the future in the model time machine.D. He would possibly send himself on a journey through time.37. What kind of story do you think the passage is?A. A detective story. B. A science fiction.C. A romantic fiction. D. A horror story.第卷（主观题 共40分）四、词汇运用 （本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。38. The boy looks much _ (生气勃勃的) in the sports clothes and trainers. 39.
