Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. However what most parents fail to realize is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Cooking demands (要求)patience and time. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking. so he will learn to work hard and gradually(逐渐), finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.（1）Parents in China, according to this passage,_.A . are too strict with their childrenB . are too rich to educate their childrenC . ave some problems in educating their children correctlyD . are too poor to educate their children（2）Generally speaking, what most parents fail to realize is_.A . that their children need to take extra-course activitiesB . that the more expensive an education is, the better it isC . that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidenceD . that their children first need to be a good cook if they want to get good marks in the exams（3）The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with_.A . the parents ideas of educating their childrenB . the education systemC . childrens skillsD . childrens hobbies（4）Doing some cooking at home helps children_.

From there she could see across the valley to a wonderful house high on the hill on the other side. This house had golden windows, so golden and shining that the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers. She wanted to live in such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and exciting it must feel to live there.When she got to an age and got enough skill and sensibility to go outside, she asked her mother if she could go for a ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she should keep close to the house and not wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.As she arrived, she focused on the path that led to the house and then on the house itself. She was so disappointed as she realized all the windows were ordinary and rather dirty, reflecting(反映出) nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that was derelict(废弃的).So sad she didnt go any further and turned, and heart broken. As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her. There across the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glistened golden as the sun shone on her little home.She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love and care she found there was what made her home the “golden house”. Everything she dreamed was right there in front of her nose!（1）Which sentence is True according to the passage?A . The girls mother finally allowed her to go to the golden house aloneB . The golden house was on the hill where the girl lived.C . What disappointed the little girl was that the house was locked.D . Actually, the windows of the golden house were common and covered with dirt.（2）What can we infer from the passage ?A . The girl didnt love or care for her parentsB . The girl had no idea where she was heading after leaving homeC . The mother thought that she neednt keep an eye on her daughterD . The girl made up her mind to go to the golden house at the beginning（3）The passage is intended to tell us that_.A . not all dreams will come trueB . girls often have amazing imaginationC . what we dream of may be just around usD . nothing is impossible to a willing heart四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)14. （10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。This week, our topic is pollution. What are the answers to all of our pollution problems? We asked two experts to give their views.Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group.Our future on the Earth looks very bad. We are dumping waste on our land. We cant breathe the fresh air. The sea is polluted too.I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are happy and healthy.We must close the factories producing useless products. That will reduce rubbish and air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all cars, and improve public transport.A big problem is overpopulation in big cities. We must give up big cities and factories, and go back to a simple way of life.John Green is a scientist at a university.Things are not as bad as Forest says. Well have a bright future. We dont need to give up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner engines.This wont stop the problem of traffic jams. So we need better public transport. We should also recycle more.But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, “Our old neighbourhood doesnt look the same as beforeit is cleaner and greener now.”In a word, science has brought many improvements to our life.Forest Smith: A member of an _groupOur future on the Earth looks bad.Were _waste on our landThe air cant be _in.People have polluted the sea.The population in _cities is very large.What we can do _some factories will reduce rubbish and air pollution.We must recycle more and _the public transport better.Conclusion: We must go back to a simple way of lifeJohn Green: A _at a university.We still have a _future.We _better and cleaner engines because we cant give up cars.We also need better transport and to recycle more.Conclusion: Life has been _a lot because of science.五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)15. （10分）语法填空,阅读下面材料，在空白处按要求填入适当的单词或括号内单词的的正确形式（每空一个单词）My name is Sam.
