magazines? a. one.b. two.c. three.d. four. bone of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. there i would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. i would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.when i think about the bamboo trees ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. when it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover (恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. have you ever felt like you were going to snap? have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.life is a mixture (混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. the next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but dont break. try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.an amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. with hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. the unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.if things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. like the bamboo trees, bend, but dont break!29. what does the underlined word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?a. breakb. changec. wind. complain30. what can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?a. holding peace and quiet in mind.b. waiting until sufferings disappear.c. experiencing more bad times.d. hoping for a better tomorrow.31. what would be the best title of this passage?a. memories of bamboob. be like bambooc. enjoying bambood. characteristics of bamboocthere are some very good inventions which, for one reason or another, dont become popular. these inventions should be better known, even though i think that some of them are crazy. lets have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.the australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. the idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. if there was too much alcohol (酒精) in their breath, the car wouldnt start. it sounded like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency (紧急情况) even if they had drunk too much alcohol. another idea i liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much tv. he connected the tv to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the tv was produced by the bike. if the children wanted to watch a lot of tv, they had to pedal (踩动) very hard. i found another invention on the internet which encouraged good habits. believe it or not, this invention was an ashtray (烟灰缸) which spoke to you when you lit a cigarette! the “voice” of the ashtray was started by the heat from the cigarette and reminded you how dangerous it is to smoke.one of the strangest inventions i have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! the idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate a huge plastic ball all around the bike. you would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! why not use a bridge instead? a friend of mine at school once bought a strange pair of football shoes. on the bottom of the shoes there was a rotating pad of studs (转动钉垫). the idea was that you would change direction more quickly if the studs rotated with you. the problem was that every time you stopped you changed direction whether you wanted to or not! i think he wore those shoes twice! one thing i would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. while we are on the subject of sport, the americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. if you were watching your team on tv on your own, you could press a button and the robot would do “high fives” with you! fantastic! i wonder if you have any good ideas for inventions like these.32. whats the writers attitude towards the inventions mentioned in paragraph 2? a. the writer regrets he knew nothing about the inventions.b. he writer doubts if the inventions will be popular soon.c. the writer thinks these inventions will do good to people.d. the writer finds these inventions are the strangest of all.33. what can we know from the passage? a. the father used his invention to stop children watching too much tvb. it was very bad for the drivers to blow into a bag before their driving.c. the bike crossing rivers was considered one of the best inventions.d. the invention of new shoes would make players run much faster.34. the underlined word “inflate” in the third paragraph means _. a. check out b. blow upc. look into d. turn over35. whats the best title for the passage? a. popular inventions todayb. technology and inventionc. inventions with a difference d. the history of invention四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）a) 根据括号内的中文提示写出单词的正确形式，使句子意思完整正确，每空一词。36. our city is becoming more and more (拥挤) and polluted.37. we are excited to hear that we will have two _(月)holiday.38. nancy felt proud when she （升起）the national flag in the playground this monday.39. when i look out from the (二十九) floor of that tall building, i can see the whole city.40. the documentary he is

some parents send their children to the best schools or even to england, the us or australia, though this costs too much. many also want their children to learn a musical instrument or ballet that will give them a head start in life. the chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.however, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. parents can see that their childrens skills vary (变化); they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. what most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children dont believe in themselves.the problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. they are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. cooking demands patience and time. it is an enjoyable but difficult experience. a good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. the result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of pleasure and confidence.an old machine such as a broken radio or tv set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and interested. if he will spend hours looking at it, and try to repair it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but they teach them to think, and to use their minds. this is much more important than learning by reading a book.根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。title: how chinese parents should (56) their childrencommon practice being (57) with money when it comes to education. sending them to the best schools or (58) . taking extra-curriculum activities to have a head start in life. spending more money than they can (59) on
