early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the childrens physical, sensory, communicational and social development. early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten. there are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. further studies show that poor children who take part in head start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in special education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail. there are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early. time magazine online explains that“the younger the child, the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work”. i have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to head start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier. actually, while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a“false start”, as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. it seems that environment is a bigger factor on lifes success than early education. head start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap. 36. the purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is. a. to develop the childrens communicationb. to give orphaned children good care and educationc. to get the children prepared for the kindergartend. to train the children formally and regularly37. according to the studies, which of the following is true? a. children with good early education may have a rich life. b. the orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life. c. children without early education can do well at school. d. head start programs are helpful to the poor children. 38. “the younger the child, the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work”suggests that. a. the early childhood education is helpless to the childs gradeb. it is good for the young children to receive early educationc. the early education can help the children follow the graded. the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be39. the authors attitude toward the early childhood education is. a. puzzlingb. objectivec. indifferentd. approving40. the last paragraph suggests that. a. the early childhood education is very necessaryb. head start programs have helped the children a lotc. environment is the most important to lifes successd. better ways should be found to help the poor childrenb“a child in the street is a child that has been exposed(暴露)to a lot of bad things. and this child has no love at all. this child has no respect(尊重)for himself. he sees everybody as an enemy, and he cant trust anyone. ”who is moses zulu talking about? are there even people who live like that? sadly, in truth, there are. they happen to be the zambian children that moses zulu helps to improve their lives. zulu does his best to give many children hope to live even though they might have aids. without his continuous work through his organization called childrens town, many zambian children would have been forced to survive(生存)in an african city by getting a job as a street vendor(街头小贩), or helping other people. in 1990, moses zulu founded childrens town in zambia, where one million children have no parents, largely because of aids. childrens town teaches children basic life skills needed for their future. each child goes through a five-year training program where theyre taught responsibility(责任), values, and self-care. zulus childrens town provides hope for less fortunate children. as we all know, a hero is any person who is respected for his qualities and achievements. there are not many people who are willing to help others in need. zulus contribution to todays modern society teaches us to lend a helping hand to others who are not as lucky as we are. he teaches us to make a difference in the world by helping others. and from now on, if ever you throw away your banana just because it looks bad, well, remember that a group of people, suffering from aids, homelessness, or other causes, would fight each other just to get their hands on a single bad banana. 41. which of the following can not describe moses zulu according to the passage? a. devoted. b. easy-going. c. determined. d. kind-hearted. 42. in childrens town, children will learn. a. how to fight against aidsb. how to get a job as a street vendorc. how to survive by themselvesd. how to avoid fighting in the street43. in the opinion of the author, he considers moses zulu. a. a teacherb. a doctorc. a herod. a fighter44. in the last paragraph, the author advises us to. a. plant more bananasb. make use of bad foodc. invent medicine for aidsd. help poor people45. which of the following is true? a. childrens town has been founded for 30 years. b. children in childrens town will receive five yearstraining. c. in zambia, one million children lose their parents because of aids. d. childrens town helps children in zambia by giving money directly to them. camerican cities are similar to other cities around the world: in every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. american cities are changing, just as american society is changing. after world war, the population of most large american cities decreased; however, the population in many sun belt cities increased. los angeles and houston are cities where population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of american society. in the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents(居民)became wealthier. they had more children so they needed more space. they moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. they bought houses in the suburbs. now things are changing. the children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. they continue to move to sun belt cities and older ones of the northeast and midwest. many young professionals are moving back into the city. they prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers. this population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the ownerswant to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. in the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities. only a few years ago, people thought that the older american cities were dying. some city residents now see a bright, new future. others see only problems and conflicts. one thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again. 46. what does the author think of cities all over the world? a. they are alive. b. they are hopeless. c. they are similar. d. they are different. 47. why did american city residents want to live in the suburbs after world war? a. because older american cities were dying. b. because they were richer and needed more space. c. because cities contained the worst parts of society. d. because they could hardly afford to live in the city. 48. according to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in american cities. a. are faced with housing problemsb. are forced to move to the suburbsc. want to sell their buildingsd. need more money for daily expenses49. we can conclude from the text that. a. american cities are changing for the worseb. people have different views on american citiesc. many people are now moving from american citiesd. the population is decreasing in older american cities50. the underlined word“suburbs”in the second paragraph probably meansin chinese. a. 市区b. 郊区c. 市中心d. 农村 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improve your memory, improve your lifemark began to introduce the guest speaker to the audience, but then he paused in horror. 51 barbara hid her jewelry when she went on vacation. when she came back, she couldnt remember where shed put it. 52most people have. but memory can be developed. first, relax. if youre overanxious about remembering something, youll forget it. 53 take a deep breath and tell yourself that you have all the time in the world to remember. second, avoid being negative. if you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you wont remember things. when you forget something, dont say, “gee, i need to have my brain rewired(重装电线). ”to improve your memory, youll need to take an active role. like your body, your memory can be strengthened through exercise. 54for example, if youre learning a language, try to actively remember irregular verbs. you may also want to make associations, or links, between what youre trying to remember and things you already know. for example, if you need to catch a plane at 2: 00 pm, you can imagine a plane in your mind and notice that it has two wings. 55 a. dont worry. b. he had forgotten her name. c. perhaps youve had experiences like these. d. look for opportunities to exercise your memory. e. jokes like this will have a negative effect on your memory. f. you are now ten times more likely to remember the take-off time. g. relaxing will help improve your awareness and ability to concentrate. ii；第三部分； 语言知识运用。 （共10小题，每小题1.5 分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的适当形式。last year, my brother and i went to miami for a vacation. some of my friends who had been there before said_1_was a wonderful holiday destination. before we went, we had planned for months. when the day came, we were ready.after our plane landed, we went to the hotel. we had made our reservation six months_2_(early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. we were_3_(tell)that our rooms hadnt been reserved for that
