when to let go（放手）. as my daughter, nicole, prepares to leave home for college, im discovering how hard it is to stay on the 16 side of this line. when i hold 17 the apron strings（围裙带） connecting us, nicole, eager to 18 independence, tries to loosen my grasp. what results is a (an) 19 mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango. for the past two years, its gone like this: mothers question: “have you thought of taking an advanced class（大学预备课程）so that you can earn college credit?” daughters 20: “no, im not interested in that.” two months ago, she was 21 to a great university. however, i was still the mother having a 22 time letting go. the night before the introductory meeting of the university, i had read the course catalog carefully and 23 courses which i thought looked good. we met on the campus the next afternoon, and nicoles face 24 with excitement. “i have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “already?” i was astonished, 25 she should have discussed it with me. i examined the schedule. nicole hadnt taken a (an) 26 one of the courses i had suggested. every course she had chosen 27 suited her interests. just then i saw a mature, capable young woman with a 28 mind and the ability to shape her future. she no longer needed her mother 29 every decision she made. i felt proud, though still a bit 30. i31 the lessons carefully. nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years: 32, sympathy, and hard work. there have been a few holes along the way. 33, she is well-equipped and eager to 34 the future. the next step, i recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the 35 we both needed.16. a. leftb. rightc. eitherd. each17. a. ontob. upc. backd. out18. a. keepb. refusec. tasted. bear19. a. awkwardb. relaxingc. livelyd. beautiful20. a.

at the bus station quite early for paris. the bus for paris would not leave until five to twelve. he saw a lot of people waiting at the station. some were standing in line, others were walking around. a teacher was trying to keep a group of schoolgirls in line. tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.he walked into the station cafe. he looked up at the clock there. it was only twenty to twelve. he found a seat and sat down before a large mirror(镜子) on the wall. just then, peter, one of toms workmates came in and sat with tom. what time is your bus? asked peter. there is a lot of time yet. answered tom. well, ill get you some more tea then. they talked while drinking. then tom looked at the clock again. oh! its going backward(反方向的)! he cried. a few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now its half past eleven. you are looking at the clock in the mirror. said peter. tom was so sad. the next bus was not to leave for another hour. since then tom has never liked mirrors.36. tom went into the station caf ? because _.a. peter asked him to have a cup of teab. it was quite early and he could find a seat therec. he didnt like to stay with the schoolgirlsd. he

following is the best title for the story?a. the mirror of the station b. not a careful man c. missing a bus d. the man and the mirrorb“have you ever heard the old saying, “never judge(判断)a book by its cover”? this is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. a young man with an unusual gift(天赋)in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. but dont make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. with a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well. other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.a student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression(印象)on his teachers. but when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.we may conclude that: you cant judge someone by appearances. the only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing(观察) how he reacts to(反映)different situations. the more situations you observe, the more accurate(准确的)your judgement is likely to be. so take your time. dont judge the book by its cover.41. the best title for this passage is_a. judging cleverness b. choosing a bookc. a speechless young man d. putting up a good front42. the main idea of the passage is _a. dont judge a book by its cover b. dont judge a persons cleverness by appearancec. people may fool you by putting up a good frontd. make sure you know someone well before observing him43. the young man mentioned in the passage_.a. is stupid b. is a good student c. is a good writer d. is successful with girls44. according to the passage, true knowledge of a persons cleverness comes from_.a. the grades he gets in school b. his manners at partiesc. his outward appearanc d. how he behaves in different situations45. the passage suggests that in judging a persons intelligence we should_. a. make quick judgements b. be creativec. have patience and be careful d. give him a testccan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat. whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. the significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.46. the underlined word swimmingly in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. early b. sweetly c. quickly d. smoothly47. some cats and dogs may fight when _.a. they are cold to each other b. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstood each others signals d. they are introduced at an early age48. what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep each other. b. they observe each others behaviors. c. they learn to speak each others language. d. they know something from each others voices.49. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.a. have common interests b. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body language d. are less intelligent than was expected50. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmony. b. we should know more about animals. c. we should live in peace with animals. d. we should learn more body languages.四、根据中文完成下列句子。（共10题；每小题1分，满分10分）1. the thief knelt down and _ (乞求) us to let him go.2.

best schools or even abroad to england, the us or australia, regardless of how much this costs. many also want their children to take extra-curriculum (课外的) activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes 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 unreasonable 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; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. what most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence.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 satisfaction 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 arouse his interest. if he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up. such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. this is much more important than learning by reading a book.titlehow chinese
