CampersB I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in. With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has. Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.4What can be inferred about the author as a child? A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to. C. He found reading unbelievable. D. He considered reading part of his life.5. The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”. A. an idea B. a sound quality C. a way of writing D. a world to write about6What effect does reading have on the author? A. It helps him to realize his dream. B. It opens up a wider world for him. C. It makes his college life more interesting. D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.7Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A. Why do I read? B. How do I read? C. What do I read? D. When do I read?C Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a childs pocket money to chores(琐事)can be a slippery slope. Heres why. Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and pocket money totally separate. “Pocket money is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities-thats a whole different thing.” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids arent doing a chore, you dont say, well, there goes your pocket money. Youre going to sit them down and ask whats going on. We are a team. We are a family. Weve got to have them done.” Besides, by paying children for chores with pocket money, youll also be sending the message that work isnt worth doing unless theyre getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that its a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garageespecially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial(企业家)spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children wont learn the value of a dollar if the pocket money isnt tied to household chores, notes that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their pocket money towards savings. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9 “Its up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And thats a good lesson on learn at 9 years old. No matter which pocket money route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.8. According to Susie Walton, if kids dont do chores, parents should _. A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B. talk to them about family responsibilities C. give them a smaller pocket money than usual D. order them to give reasonable explanation9. In Paragraph 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “_”. A. money given by charity organizations B. money earned by doing part-time jobs C. money earned by doing everyday household chores D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores10. What is the authors attitude towards Kevins action? A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Approving D. Unfavorable11. The text is mainly about _. A. the importance of kids doing chores B. whether parents should pay kids for chores C. whether it is good or bad to give kids pocket money D. whether parents should give kids regular pocket moneyD Many parents display their childrens artwork on the refrigerator, but Kieron Williamsons paintings have been on display in professional galleries since he was 6 years old. Kierons artwork, though, extends far beyond child-like stick figures or finger painting. In fact, the child from Norfolk, England, has been called “the boy who paints like an old master.” According to his parents, Kieron was a typical toddler who like finding bugs and playing in the mud. But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach, the 5-year-old was inspired by the boats and scenery and asked his parents for a sketch pad. His initial drawings could have been done by any young child, but after the family returned home, Kieron continued drawing and began to display a gift for art. When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together, his parents realized he needed professional instruction. Soon after, he began taking lessons, and his progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolors. In 2009, when the 6-year-old had a chance to exhibit his work in a gallery, he sold 19 paintings for 14,000 pounds, becoming famous overnight. From then on, he was surrounded by buyers from France, Japan, Greece and other countries. The young artist held another exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for over 17,000 pounds, followed by a third sale, earning 150,000 pounds. For the fourth exhibit, Kieron took the day off from school but ended up returning to school early. His entire collection had sold out in 10 minutes to collectors from around the world. Now he has a waiting list of more than 5,000 people who have ordered his paintings. He has appeared in interviews before millions, and he has been compared to Pablo Picasso. Yet Kieron doesnt seem to be fazed by all the attention, still making time for football and maintaining excellent grades at school. He does have one goal he gets excited about: “ Id like the Queen to have a collection of my work.” With his popularity climbing, this young artist may realize his wish one day. 12. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Kierons paintings are just as childish as other childrens. B. Kierons initial drawings suggested that he would be an art master. C. Kieron benefited greatly from professional instruction. D. Before displaying a gift for art, Kieron received professional training.13. Why did Kieron go back to school early on the day of his fourth exhibit? A. Because his mind was focused on study.B. Because the exhibit was put off.C. Because he wanted to gain praise from teachers.D. Because his paintings were sold out earlier than expected.14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Kieron respects and admires the Queen very much. B. Kieron likes to earn money from the Queen. C. Kieron is bound to realize his dream. D. Kierons goal is unlikely to come true.15. Whats the best title of the passage? A. How to exhibit artworks successfully B. Kieron Williamson: The Art Worlds Youngest Star C. A famous painter D. No pains, no gains.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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。（注意：如果选E，在答题卡上涂AB；如选F，涂CD；如选G，涂ABCD） With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.
