accommodate demand from chinas huge population.the comments by shao qiwei, director of chinas state administration of tourism, came a day after shanghais mayor han zheng said the city was preparing to build chinas second disney theme park.“china has a very large population. we now have 1.3 billion people. the market is very large. as far as i know, hong kong disneyland is now very crowded,” said shao, whose comments were broadcast on hong kongs cable tv.the hong kong theme park, which opened in september, was widely criticized in january when it turned away hundreds of lunar new year holiday makers from mainland china because the park was full. chaos(混乱) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park.the embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from hong kong disneyland managing director bill ernest and a dressing down from hong kongs leader donald tsang. authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the disney park in shanghai, shao said.the official xinhua news agency reported tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in shanghai, quoting senior vice president of walt disney parks and resorts, leslie goodman. hong kong disneyland is a joint venture between the walt disney co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the parks construction fees.50. why is it necessary to build a disney park in shanghai? a. hong kong disneyland cant meet the need of the large population. b. hong kong disneyland is too small and very crowded. c. hong kong disney park was criticized by tourists. d. hong kong disneyland is far from the mainland.c about 30 years ago, i left cuba for the united states with my son. after getting settled finally in brunswick, new jersey, i enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office. in the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “ is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?” was he talking about my wonderful scola? no, no, it cant be. what a helpless, lonely moment! i told him that scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. i asked him why he was asking me all these questions. my son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, scola was disrupting the class. didnt he know my son did not speak english yet? he was angry: “ why hasnt your son been taught to speak english? dont you speak english at home?” no, i didnt speak english at home, i replied. i was sure my son would learn english in a couple of months, and i didnt want him to forget his native language. well, wrong answer! what kind of person would not speak in english to her son at home and at all times? “ are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and sent them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?” needless to say, i tried to tell him i was not one of “ those people.” then he told me the meeting was over, and i left. as i had expected, my son learned to speak english fluently before the school year was over. he went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. he travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. and he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。 speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places- something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” i met in new jersey. 53. the teacher asked the author to his office_. a. to work out a study plan for scola b. to get scola enrolled in kindergarten c. to discuss scolas in-class performance d. to find a language partner for scola54. what does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 4 probably mean? a. attending b. disturbing c. breaking d. following55. the authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as _. a. positive b. critical c. casual d. passive56. this text is likely to be selected from a book of _. a. geography b. medicine c. history d. education dthere is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. no school i have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. there are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. the problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.if spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. he will write only words within his spelling range (范围). thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.i was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:“this work is terrible! there are far too many spelling mistakes.” it may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. the teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.57. the expression “play safe” probably means _. a. to write carefully b. to do as teachers say c. to use dictionaries frequently d. to avoid using words one is not sure of58. teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that_.a. students will be able to express their ideas more freely b. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes c. students will have more trust in writing d. students will learn to spell words correctly59. the writer seems to think that the teachers judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is_. a. reasonable b. unfair c. foolish d. careless60. the major point discussed in the passage is _.a. the importance of developing writing skillsb. the importance of spellingc. the correct way of marking compositiond. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition第二节：根据文章内容，从下面a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余。 根据短文内容，从下面的af选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在涂题卡上将该选项涂黑；注意，其中一个选项为多余项。a. adults keep pets with their childrenb. pet keeping has a very long historyc. pet-keeping may do hard to animalsd. people keeps pet for their aesthetic neede. caged pets become increasingly popularf. pet-keeping is helpful for childrens growths61. _ pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition. one of the reasons for people to raise to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. while people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilized man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).62. _ we keep animals as pets because they are attractive. we all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic value, and that is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. keeping pets is one form of this urge. a siamese cat in the house can be a decorative objective. pets are playful animals and they amuse us. a little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs. 63. _ many parents find it helpful to have pets in their house and for their children. having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of

an animal. there are psychological benefits for children. pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. pets are excellent companions. keeping pets means giving love and being loved. we find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. we get pleasure from their appreciation and their behavior.64. _ as more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. birds fall into this type. we keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers. fishing keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle. the cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage. they are wonderful hunters, if there are rats around. 65. _ pets satisfy mans desire to care for a bit of nature. the pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs nature provides. pets are
