We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages, too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so polluted that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.41. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.42. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.43 In the passage, the writer tries to _. A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city44. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations. BWe once had a poster（海报） competition in our fifth grade art class. “You could win prizes, ”our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ” We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that tendollar grand prize, each and every one of us. Im going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewers attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then alwaysalwaysrewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I cant say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, what poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.45. What was the teachers requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time. B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet. D. It must include the words on the blackboard.46. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means _.A. formed an idea forB. made an outline for C. made some space forD. chose some colors for47. After seeing the good students designs, some students _.A. 1oved their own designs more B. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a corner D. thought they would not win the prize48. We can infer from the passage that the author _.A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much B. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competition D. became wise and rich after the competitionCLots of parents feel they dont have any ways to discipline their children-nothing seems to work. In fact, 30% parents say their discipline methods just dont work. Angela Warren is one of those moms. Her daughter, Skai, seems immune to every method. They take away the toys, unplug (拔掉插头) her TV and even take the TV away at times. They try their best to teach her a lesson. But it seems like nothing is working. In fact, the biggest problem is that, too often, parents give in to their children to stop their children from throwing a tantrum(耍性子). Parents do it because it is easier . It is avoidable behavior, which means that they dont want to cause problems, they dont want the kids to go into a temper tantrum and they dont want the night ruined. They just want things to be calm but they are teaching their children how to get results with that behavior. And over time, being afraid of temper tantrums means some kids will turn into spoiled children. So you are going to deal with a kid who doesnt have a real good sense of themselves and they dont have very good boundaries to work with. That means they are also not going to have a good sense of having boundaries with others. In order to avoid that future, parents should build discipline that is loving, consistent and firm. You cant be friends with your kids if never set rules-the kids are going to be very confused by that and will usually go against that rule. Parents should know that discipline “doesnt mean punishment. Discipline means teaching -you are their teacher. You are the most influential person in their lives.”49 .The second paragraph mentions Skai to_A. show that she is a bad student. B. praise her for her special characterC. prove children are difficult to control now. D. show the situation of education is serious50 . The underline word “it”in paragraph3 refers to_A. letting children escape blame B. being angry with their childrenC. keeping a quiet night D. making children happy.51. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?_A. Bad effects of parents spoiling children. B. Childrens bad relationship with others.C. Childrens behavior taught by parents. D. Reasons why children are against rules.52.According to the author, parents should_A. punish children against rules. B. teach children more knowledgeC. make friends with their children without rules. D. make clear rules full of love for their children DWestern New Bridge Library AnnouncementShortened Library Hours for Spring BreakLibrary Hours have been shortened to 7 hours a day (9:00a. m. 4:00p. m.)for spring break from March 24 to March 30.
