But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything that is overdone is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them. Mike Whats the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight(洞察力) into subjects? It just makes them bookworms but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to put the children under control with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. The same trend continues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview. Peter It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldnt be able to pay attention to after-class activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us. David It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we wont do our work. So I have to do that though I know such a teacher is not liked by students. 21.Which of the following will Mike probably agree with? A. Teachers only think of themselves when giving homework. B. Homework is given to make children understand better. C. Most higher scorers also perform better in interviews. D. One must do lots of repeated homework to learn better. 22.Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students physical and mental health? A. Jack. B. Mike. C. Peter D. David . 23.In what way is David different from the others? A. He thinks students who fail to do homework should be punished. B. He thinks a teacher who gives students homework should be liked. C. He calls for giving lots of homework to students. D. He is speaking from the viewpoint of a teacher. 24.What problem do the speakers talk about? A. Whether students should be punished without doing homework. B. Whether teachers should give homework to students. C. What kind of homework should be given to students. D. What role homework plays in helping students to learn. BWhen my son, Justin, was four, he found a caterpillar(毛毛虫) and put it in a jar. Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks the caterpillar was fat and ready to sleep. One morning we discovered the caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon(茧). It hung from the top of the jar, an example of one of natures wonders. Justin was excited. To him it was like Christmas. He knew a moth(蛾) or butterfly was about to be born, but he didnt know what kind. He was curious to know what gift nature was about to give him. “Dad!” as he ran to me one day. “Somethings happening. Come see!” He led me to his room. The cocoon had become clear. We could clearly see the wings of the unborn. A few days later, a beautiful black moth broke free from its silky cage and began to lay eggs on the leaves of grass, completing the life cycle of the little caterpillar. The next day, I advised my young son it was time to set the moth free. He took the jar outside, opened it, and the little moth flew out. It circled the yard twice, came back, and landed on Justins arm. He picked it up, tossed(轻抛) it in the air, and the moth repeated its flight pattern. He tried over and over to set it free, but each time it would return to his arm. Justin gave up. He returned his little pet to the jar. The next day he tried to set it free again, and after a few return flights to his arm, the moth finally flew off into the tall grass. Like a person, I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something familiar, afraid to move on and experience new things. Humans are creatures of habit. We hate change. However, if we hadnt moved, we would not have experienced many new things. 25.According to the passage, what was Justin anxious to know? A. Whether the caterpillar would change into a moth or a butterfly. B. What gift he would receive for Christmas from his dad. C. Why the caterpillar could hang from the top of the jar. D. How the cocoon had become clear one day. 26. The thing that means the end of the littler caterpillars life cycle is that _. A. it was wrapped in a cocoon B. the moth began to lay eggs C. the cocoon became clear D. the moth was born from the cocoon 27.The first time Justin set the moth free, it _. A. flew off into the tall grass immediately B. flew into the far itself after flying a while C. returned to Justin after circling the yard D. came back into the jar and then flew away 28.What does the writer want to tell us by telling the story? A. We had better not change our habit too easily. B. Children should not keep small insects as pets. C. The moth is not brave enough. D. It is necessary to experience new things. CThe fiddler crab(螃蟹的一种) is a living clock. It shows the time of day by the color of its shell, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crabs change of color follows a regular twenty-four-hour pattern that exactly matches the daily cycle of the sun. Does the crab actually keep time, or does its shell simply react(反应) to the suns rays(光线), changing color according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find it out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crabs shell color continued to change exactly on time. This characteristic probably developed gradually as a reaction to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years, it has become completely controlled by itself inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the cycle of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水). The crabs shell is at its darkest at exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught! 29.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes color _. A. in a regular 24-hour cycle B. in reaction to the suns rays C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes30.When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark, they _. A. did not change color B. changed color more quickly C. changed color more slowly D. changed color exactly on time 31.Which of the following causes the crab to change its color? A. The amount of light. B. The cycle of the sun and tides. C. The cycle of its movements. D. The amount of sea water. DFor the past fifty years, Nargis Latif has been actively calling for the recycling of rubbish in Pakistan as an alternative to simply burning it all and raising pollution levels. But perhaps her greatest achievement has been developing a technique of building cheap housing for the poor out of dry waste. Nargis Latifs inspiring story began in the 1960s, with a quarrel over burning rubbish outside her apartment. She fought hard and managed to get the burning point moved, but that was not her real goal. She wanted to start using her waste, instead of simply throwing it away or burning it. So Nargis set up a non-governmental organization called Gul Bahao that focused on using rubbish instead of throwing it away. “I talked to hundreds of junk dealers to bring me back paper, cardboard, shopping bags, plastic, glass and metal. I paid good money and that was when peoples attitude changed.” After the 2005 earthquake that hit Pakistan, Nargis built houses with shopping bags in remote areas. Her organization kept building these houses called Chandi Ghars (silver homes) long after the natural disaster, and to date, Gul Bahao has built over 150 such homes around the country for people who suffer from poverty. Despite her devotion to promoting recycling and impressive achievements, Nargis Latif, now in her 60s, still has a long way to go. Of the 70 people once working for Gul Bahao, only 7 remain today, mainly because of the financial difficulties. Then there is the issue of convincing people to live in Chandi Ghars. “People say this is made of rubbish, and they dont want to live in or sit on rubbish. But this is clean material, especially the plastic. Its difficult to remove that thinking.”But despite all these struggles, Nargis refuses to give up on her effort to convince people to recycle and reuse waste. For her, this is a cause worth devoting her whole life to. 32.What does the underlined part “as an alternative to” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. instead of B. along with C. as a result of D. by means of 33.How did Nargis Latif make junk dealers support her project? A. By improving their awareness of protecting the environment. B. By giving them great amounts of money C. By persuading the government to give orders to them D. By letting them working in her organization. 34What are the 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly about? A. Nargis Latifs devotion to helping the poor B. What problems Nargis Latif has solved C. Why people refuses the houses made of garbage. D. The difficulties Nargis Latif is facing. 35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Recycling RubbishB. Nargis Latifs life story C. Building Houses out of Rubbish D. Guld Bahao, its Past and Present 第二节（共5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。选项中有两项为多于选项。How successful people spend their down timeHow do very busy, successful people spend their down time after a busy week?
