education. if they can afford it ,they can certainly send them to the best universities. but they must not feel guilty if they cant if the children really want to go, theyll find a way. there are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager ones who cant afford to pay. when children grow up and want to get married their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. they do not have the duty to baby-sit their grandchildren .if they want to do it must be considered a favor not an obligation. do parents owe their children anything? yes ,they owe them a great deal. one of their obligation is to give their children a personal worth .a child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy .constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure，so he/she is afraid of failing that he/she wont try at all. of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. all our parents should do is to trust them respect them, tolerate them and give them chances to try and fail .they must learn to stand failure. when criticisms are really needed ,they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss .that is the way children learn. parents owe their children a set of solid values to build their lives. this means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law the best way to teach such values is by deeds .a child who sees no laughter and no love at home will have difficulty in laughing and loving. no child asks to be born. if you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. cthere was once a king who had a wise advisor. the advisor followed the king everywhere and his favorite piece of advice to the king was “everything happens for the good.” one day the king went hunting (狩猎) and had a small accident. his foot was injured. fortunately he was not badly injured but as always he was forced to ask his advisor what he thought about the accident, to which the advisor replied, “everything happens for the good.” this time the king was really angry and put his advisor in prison (监狱). the king then asked his advisor, “now, what do you think?” the advisor again answered, “everything happens for the good.”about a week later the king went on another hunting trip. as it turned out the king was caught by some cannibals (食人者) and taken to their camp where he would be prepared to be their evening meal. before putting him into the cooking pot, he was examined and the cannibals realized that the kings foot was injured. they decided to throw him back into the forests. it is the tradition for the cannibals not to eat anything that was in any way injured. it is true that everything in our lives happens for a purpose, and most often for our own good. if you think about it, all our past experiences actually happened to bring us to where we are today and make us a better person. so whatever challenges that we may face today, consider it happening to bring us to the next level. 53.the second paragraph(段) tells us that .a. the advisor didnt have much useful adviceb. the king was always careless about everythingc. the advisor was worried about the kingd. the king always asked for advice from the advisor54.when the advisor was put in prison, he remained .a. calmb. nervousc. angry d. upset55. it can be inferred（推断）from the last paragraph that .a. everything happens for their own reasonsb. it is good for us to think about experiencesc. our life experiences are our best teacher d. challenges will make you do anything 56.by telling the story, the writer .a. tells us the danger of huntingb. asks us not to hunt any morec. wishes us to follow others advice d. wants us to think positively done would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative（否定的） thinking to work against you . in recent years , research in psychopharmacology（精神药理学）has proven what many people have known over the centuries : a positive attitude is good for you , good for your health , good for everything . researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better , while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone（荷尔蒙）and shuts down the immune(免疫)system. this is harmful to health and emotion. positive thoughts will make you feel better . even if you must begin by literally(完全地) forcing yourself to be positive ( faking it , so to speak ) , it will become contagious(会传染的)and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts. for example , if you force yourself to smile or laugh , even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing , if you keep at it for a few minutes , you will soon feel like it . feeling can generate thoughts , but thoughts can also generate feeling . control your thoughts and you can control your feeling . positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives.there is probably no single factor (因素) more important in determining your success in getting your career objectives than your own attitude .its often been said that in the land of the blind , the one-eyed man is king. and in the office of militant (好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. you cannot control external(外部的)events , but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. this important key to success is totally within your control . use it .57. if you are not a fool , you should _.a. overlook the importance of using the positive thinking. b. give importance to positive thinking.c. allow the use of negative thinking. d. have positive thinking as well as negative thinking58. we can infer from the passage that _. a. positive thinking can cure disease. b. positive thinking can easily be generated by fools . c. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed. d. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking .59. according to the passage , which of the following is true ? a. feelings and thoughts can generate each other . b. its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings . c. your own attitude is not more important factor in your success. d. keeping smiling will surely make you successful .60. the best title to the passage is _. a. thinking benefits people. b. why should people think . c. positive thinking and negative thinking. d. thinking in the different ways .第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。务必将61-65题的答案涂在答题卡上66-70题的位置 a. make good use of your time in class.b. develop a good attitude to tests .c. skim before you read .d. plan your time carefully e. find a good place to study .f. review regularly . perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence . you do well enough in school , but you probably think you will never be a top student . however , you can receive better grades if you want to . 61. make a list of your weekly tasks and make a schedule. fill in committed time such as eating , sleeping ,meeting and classes .then decide on good ,regular time for studying . be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments . this weekly schedule will make you more aware of how you spend your time . furthermore , it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have enough time for both work and play .62 it may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library , but it should be comfortable , and it should not have distractions. when you begin to work , you should be able to concentrate on the subject . so choosing one place for your study area is important .63 look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. as you preview the material , you get some idea of the content and how it is organized . skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.64 the purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject . the world wont end if you dont pass a test , so dont worry more about a single test . tests provide grades , but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying , and they help make your knowledge permanent .65 go over your notes as soon as you can after class regularly . review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about so that the material will become meaningful and you will remember it longer . regular review leads to improved performance on test . 第 ii卷（共55分）第三部分：写作（共三节，满分55分）第一节
