he said to mum. the note showed that he had been talking in class. ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. the best he gets is ok, but often he gets you can do better than this. mum knows what it means. she tells me you can do better than this means extremely bad in china. in the usa, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. the worst they might say is please be nicer tomorrow. many parents are satisfied with a b-grade for each subject. but things in chinese schools are quite different. parents have high expectations for their children. i sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than i did when i was a 6th grader in the usa! yet his parents and teachers didnt think he worked hard enough. is it too strict in china? or is it not strict enough in the usa? maybe both are true.55. why did ted come home with a letter last friday ? a. because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. b. because he did something wrong. c. because the teacher was happy with his progress. d. because the teacher thought he was too lazy.56. american parents will be when their children get a b-grade in their school. a. excited b. sad c. angry d. happy57. the underlined words high expectations in this passage means . a. 很高的待遇 b. 很多的自由 c. 很高的期望 d. 很多的关爱58. the writer mainly wants to tell us . a. the differences between chinese education and american education b. chinese students are better than american students c. american parents are not strict enough with their children d. what the best way to educate children is cmonkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy(贪婪的) as well. whenever they find delicious food, they will eat enough. whats more, they will take it when they leave. they have suffered(吃亏) a lot because of this. but they never change this way.in india, people use monkeys greed to catch them. do you know how they can catch monkeys? here are some instructions.make a hole in a big pumpkin. the hole must be just right-neither too big nor too small.put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.leave the pumpkin under a tree. make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.hide yourself and watch the monkeys.as soon as you leave, the monkeys cant wait to come down to the pumpkin. when they find a hole in the pumpkin, they dont know whats in it and one of them cant help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. when it touches the jujubes, it will clench(攥紧) some of them in its hand. as a result, it isnt able to take its fist(拳) out of the hole. you cant come close until this time. will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? dont worry. it prefers the pumpkin than its life. it will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. in the end, it is caught helplessly.58. “the hole must be just right” means it is . a.big enough for the monkey to put its hand inb.smaller than a monkeys handc. bigger than a monkeys fistd.bigger than a monkeys hand but smaller than its fist59. seeing the hole in the pumpkin, a monkey will .a.be interested in b.be afraid of c.run away at once d.take the pumpkin away in arms 60. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. indians often catch the monkeys in this way.b. sometimes monkeys are stupid.c. as soon as the monkeys comes to the pumpkin, you can rush to catch it.d. in india, monkeys like pumpkins every much.61. what should we learn from the passage?a. we should catch monkeys in this way.b. one mustnt be greedy.c. we should protect monkeys.d. come up with another way to catch monkeysdthese days haze（雾霾）is around us here and there. in fact，everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner. transport is one of the biggest contributors（促成物）to haze. when，where，how，why and what you drive all affect air quality（质量）. when one drives to work for one year，he uses as mush energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. so walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. if it is necessary，you can use public transport instead of your car. each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a ton of pollutants(污染物)，including co2，going into the atmosphere(大气层). carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions（排放）.carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. it immediately reduces(减少) your cars emissions by half. what you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it. you can do a lot of things inside and around your home that will help you pollute less and save some money. a large amount of our energy comes from burning coal，another contributor to haze. by cutting down your electricity use，you are cutting down on haze. so you may try to reduce your use of electricity by turning off lights，using your air conditioner wisely during the summer months，or updating（更新） some of your electrical appliances(家电) to low-energy models. for example，you can use energy-saving lamps that need less energy and last 10 times longer than common bulbs.62. which does the writer think should play an important part in reducing haze？ a. city cleaners b. haze producers c. local governmentsd. common people63.we can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer thinks_. a. cars can be used only when people have to b. cars should be given up as soon as possiblec. cars must be improved to reduce air pollution d. cars may cause the most serious pollution of all64. what does the word carpooling mean in chinese ?a. 轿车使用 b. 轿车开发 c. 拼车、合乘 d. 分开乘车65. which can be the best title for the passage？ a. what are causing haze around us b. what you can do to reduce hazec. how dangerous haze is to our life d. how important it is to reduce haze第ii卷(共60分)五、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。(每空一词).66. what the girl said makes her look even _(丑陋的).67.the theatre has been famous since the early_(二十)century.68. people often grow rice in the _(南方) part of china.69. whose are the key rings?
