Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling. Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their childs overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a childs brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten. Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a childs mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a childs brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.24.From the first paragraph, we can infer that _. A. parents have more choices in offering education to their kids B. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids various demands C. parents meet many challenges when raising their kids D. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids growth 25.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make? A. To train kids as early as possible. B. To try as many means as possible. C. To help kids develop as fully as possible. D. To use as many available resources as possible.26.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages. B. The effective ways to help develop childrens brains. C. The vital factors to have a great effect on childrens health. D. The practical steps to arouse childrens interest in study.27.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with _. A. InspirationB. IntroductionC. SuggestionD. promotion CAt a talk to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know hes going to use it to buy alcohol? I replied, If all was giving was money, itll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, thats just the wrapping (包装纸) . The real gift is hidden inside - its love.

However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated.Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other. Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.32.The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to _. A. show his opinion B. make complaints C. bring up the topic D. criticize the local police33.The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _. A. entertainment B. quietness C. freedom D. quality34.What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident? A. Go back to China. B. Fight for their right. C.

He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court. 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。 Speaking to Develop Self-confidence Overcoming stage fright Most people are nervous about public speaking. 36 If you know that your topic is interesting, and that your material is well organized, you have already reduced a major worry.
