So we settled for a sharing of seaside golf.I write here not as a good golfer in the technical sense, but hopefully as a “good” player who enjoys a round in the group of family or friends, who tries hard to win but who doesnt mind losing to the better golfer. Sadly, “good golfers” in that sense are becoming harder to find in a competitive world.Im not sure whether I understand golf myself, or why adults spend so much time, money and energy in trying to knock a small white ball into a tiny hole. However, it is more than a game - it is a lesson in life. People always try hard to win a match. Even worse, some have found it hard to lose gracefully to their close friends, or to their own sons. Sometimes such winners are really losers. I have played golf for more than twenty years, and it was obvious that I, playing quite well by my standards, would win. But on this particular morning，I realized that Mark was grown up and was beating his father for the first time. In fact, I wanted him to win, but I was equally prepared to play on to a “sudden death” if necessary. He hit it, and the ball rolled gently into the hole! A beam of joy lit up his face, and I felt deeply proud in my heart, “Thats my boy.” 46. Which word has the similar meaning to rare in Paragraph 1?A. usual B. uncommon C. exciting D. valuable47. Why did the writer and his son decide to enjoy a round of seaside golf?A. They desired to stay together without interruption. B. They both thought seaside golf was very interesting.C. That was the only time that playing golf was free of charge.D. The writer wanted to teach his son how to play golf.48. According to the passage, playing golf needs the following EXCEPT _.A. timeB. money C. energy D. courage49. Which of the following would the writer agree with?A. Playing golf is a waste of time.B. There is no need for a golfer to try hard to win.C. Those who dont want to win are good golfers.D. It isnt the most important whether to win or not.50. According to the passage, the writer plays golf mainly to _.A. enjoy a good time with family or friendsB. find a really good golfer in the matchC. prove that Dad plays better than the sonD. see that his son has grown up(B)In many countries, life expectancy is getting longer, and many middle-aged children are taking care of their elderly parents. This can be very difficult because elderly parents often need somebody to be with them all the time. Children can feel that they are losing their privacy. If they decide to put their parents in a nursing home, they feel ashamed because they think it is their duty to care for them, as their parents took care of them when they were children. In China, elderly parents usually stay with their children. Children become their caretakers. This is one solution, but this situation is hard because the children already have their own families and other responsibilities. Sons are supposed to take on the responsibility of caring for their parents, but usually it is the daughters-in-law who take care of them. Their sons contribution is mainly financial. For women, this can be a great stress because they might also need to take care of their children and husbands. Another solution is to pay a nurse that can take care of aging parents. Children will share the cost of this service. Having a person that can take care of their parents makes life easier for them. In this situation, they only have to provide companionship for their parents for a few hours a week or whenever their parents ask them to go to someplace with them. These two solutions are common, but nursing homes, at least in China, are unusual. 51. What problem do children often have when they take care of their aging parents?A. There is a generation gap that affects the communication between them.B. They may lose their free time and cant devote much to their own families.C. The children are ashamed of having to take care of their parents.D. It is really hard and tiring to take care of their aging parents.52. How many methods are mentioned to care for aging parents in this passage?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.53. Who takes the main responsibility for looking after aging parents in families in China?A. Male children. B. Sons wives. C. Hired nurses.D. Grandchildren.54. In China, what is the common attitude towards putting elderly parents in a nursing home?A. Pleased B. Supportive.C. Disapproved. D. Puzzled.55. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Why children should take care of their parents. B. The problems of taking care of parents. C. The solutions to taking care of parents. D. Children feel worried to take care of parents.(C)Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day, 1821 in Oxford, Massachusetts. Although she was educated at home, Clara began teaching at school herself at the age of fifteen in various elementary schools in Massachusetts and New Jersey between the years 1836 and 1854. Before the Civil War, Claras most famous achievement was that she built a free public school in Bordentown, New Jersey. In addition, her only medical experience prior to the war was when she cared for her diseased brother David for two years. When the Civil War broke out, Clara organized a relief program for the soldiers, starting her lifelong career as a nurse and humanitarian. After the First Battle of Bull Run at the start of the Civil War, Clara soon learned that many of the wounded soldiers had suffered from a lack of medical supplies. She then advertised for donations to buy supplies in Worcester, Massachusetts and began her own operation to distribute these supplies. Her operation was a success, and she was soon given a general pass by the U.S. Surgeon General, William Hammond, to travel with army ambulances for the next three years.Upon the end of war in 1865, Clara set up an information center which served war-torn families, as well as aided in locating missing soldiers, and identifying and marking thousands of graves. Barton, who knows that the US would benefit greatly by having a Red Cross, returned home and established the Red Cross in America. In 1881, with her hard work the American Association of the Red Cross was founded. Upon her resignation, she retired to her home in Glen Echo, Maryland, where she died on April 12, 1912.Clara Barton was truly a great American who dedicated her life to humanity.56. How old was Clara Barton when she died?A. 44. B. 60. C. 91. D. 76.57. What does humanitarian mean in Paragraph 2?A. 人类学家 B. 心理学家 C. 护理专家 D. 人道主义者58.

Which of the following is NOT true according to this article?A. Clara Barton became a teacher when she was very young.B. Clara Barton had learned much medical knowledge at school before the Civil War.C. What Clara Barton did for the wounded soldiers in the Civil War was a great success.D.

Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.61. Before children start speaking_.A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions62. Children who start speaking late _.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly63. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults64.The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech _.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is not especially important because what a child means by a word will change gradually.C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because childrens use of words is often meaningless 65. The speaker implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating第二节:信息匹配请阅读以下活动和人物的信息，然后匹配人物所需要的活动：A.
