We didnt like our dress code. The teachers warned us, “If you dont follow the school dress code, you will be considered bad students.”I didnt agree with their ideas because they didnt think about the students rights. We wanted them to understand our ideas. In my junior high school, boys were skinheads (光头青年) because of the school dress code. We wanted to change it, so we discussed it with the teachers and with our parents. At last, we got the right to change the school dress code.Ayumi Ono:When we wear uniforms, we dont need extra money for clothes. For example, if we have a school uniform, we wear it every day, so we dont need to buy dresses to wear to school. I think second-hand clothes are also a good idea. These are much cheaper than new ones.Kayo Shigenobu:I dont think we need dress codes because wearing clothes is a way to express individuality, I want to wear clothes that I like, so I dont think school uniforms are necessary. However, a school uniform is a symbol of the school.Mami Kanemaru:I think a dress code is a bad thing because we cannot show our individuality. We humans each have individuality, so we had better show it to other people. If we have a dress code, we all look alike, but we are different.Keita Ogura:To wear the same clothes is an effective way to unite people into one way of thinking. For example, military clothes do this. In some societies, they want to increase their unity and power by making people wear the same clothes.Yuki Masui:When I was a high school student, we had some school rules; mainly it was a dress code. We had to wear sailor-style uniforms. Then, as in the winter season we felt cold, we wore T-shirts under our uniforms to protect ourselves from the cold. However, our teachers decided to require students not to wear undershirts. We had to follow these rules. If we didnt, we were punished.21What are these people talking about?ATheir opinions on what kind of clothes to wear. BTheir opinions on wearing school uniforms.CTheir opinions on some of their school rules. DTheir opinions of their schools and teachers.22According to Mami Kanemaru, wearing the same kind of clothes _.Awill make them lose their personality to others Bcan unite them into one way of thinkingCwill enable them to look better than other people Dcan save them a lot of money23Which group is in favor of wearing school uniforms?AAyumi Ono and Keita Ogura. BChizuru Kurono and Yuki Masui.CMami Kanemaru and Keita Ogura. DYuki Masui and Kayo Shigenobu.BAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son, “What is this?”The son replied, “It is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”The son said, “Father, I have just now told you Its a crow.”After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?”“Its a crow, a crow, a crow,” said the son loudly.A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later, the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. Opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question a- gain and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed. I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”24In what tone did the son say to his father “Its a crow, a crow, a crow”?AHurried. BImpatient. CExcited. DSurprised.25Why did the father ask the same question again and again?ABecause he couldnt understand what his son said.BBecause he was too old to remember anything.CBecause he wanted to make his son angry.DBecause he wanted to see how patient his son would be.26How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times “What is this”?A80 years old. B45 years old. C38 years old. D35 years old.27What is the most suitable title for the passage?AA Crow BAn Old man CAn Old Dairy DFathers LoveCDifferent weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18, people become stronger.Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weathers problem.28People may have more intelligence when comes _.Aa rain Bvery hot weather Ca strong wind Dlow air pressure29Low air pressure may make people _.Aforgetful Bsad Cangry Dtired30In “good weather” of 18 centigrade, _.Apeople are very forgetful Bpeople cant do their work wellCthin people feel cold Dpeople are in better health31The writer wants to tell us that _.Ahot and cold weather influences all people in the same wayBweather influences peoples livesCIQ never changes during weather changesDthere is a good kind of weather for peoples work and healthD Forest Schools originated in Sweden in the 1950s and spread to other countries, particularly Denmark where they have become an important part of the Danish early years program.In a typical Danish Forest School, young children from 3 years are taken into the forest for 4 hours each day of the week. They take no toys with them, but instead use only what the forest provides (and their imaginations) to develop their games. There is a primitive hut in the forest, which is used in extreme weather. Activities are child- led and fun, such as finding small animals or stomping in puddles. Because of high adult to child ratios, children can safely try out activities which are often considered too dangerous, such as climbing trees or lighting fires, and by dressing the children in good protective clothing, they are able to play freely. By setting children small manageable tasks at which they are unlikely to fail, and giving genuine praise, childrens independence and confidence grow.A Swedish scientific study found that children in the Forest School are more balanced and socially capable, have fewer sick days, are more able to concentrate and have better co-ordination than the city nursery children. The primary reason appeared to be the greater opportunities to play in nature, so that children play for longer at a time, tending not to disturb each other as much as children in the city nursery. The study observed that where children were interrupted, they became irritable, their stress level rose, and their ability to concentrate fell.The study also showed that the Forest School children had 25 % fewer sick days than the city children. One reason for this is that the air is nearly always better outside than indoors. Outside a child is not so exposed to virus and bacteria and not so likely to be infected by other children. Another reason may be that, since stress has been shown to have a negative effect on the immune system, high stress levels may be weakening the city children. The Forest School children, on the other hand, are in a pleasant, natural, fun and less stressful environment.32Why is there a primitive hut in the forest?ATo enrich the childrens imagination. BTo protect the children from bad weather.CTo let children have fun. DTo store daily necessities.33What kind of activities do the Forest School children have?AActivities usually played by braver kids. BActivities which are designed for adults.CGrade-improving activities. DActivities with fun and a certain level of danger.34The Forest School children are more able to concentrate because _.Athey have more interesting things to do Bthey are accompanied by adultsCthey are not disturbed so often Dthey are playing in small groups35Which of the following best describes the Forest School children?AFree and wild. BConfident and happy. CPolite and calm. DStrong and adventurous.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone wants to be truly happy.36For example，we should be true to ourselves，we should think positively，we should always smile，we should learn to be thankful and so on.
