Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes nap time before class couldnt hurt, I thought.Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous, boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto my desk. “Good morning !” he said, still smiling. “Im glad to see everyone is awake. Now lets get started.”For the next hour I wasnt sleepy at all. It wasnt from the shock of my professors textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he taught with were contagious（有感染力的）. I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well ! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love ! Dont sleepwalk your way through life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.24.

Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers. B. Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk his way through life. C. Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love. D. People from all walks of life should do their jobs with wisdom and love.27. What can be inferred from this passage? A. The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm. B. The author was attracted by the professors great wisdom and enthusiasm. C. The author left the two-hour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter. D. Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear-headed in the class. C “Tiger Mother” parenting raises media storm. A new book written by a self-described Chinese descent(血统)on her super-strict parentingBattle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised media storm and fierce debates in the US. Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of immigrants of Chinese descent. In the Chinese culture，the tiger symbolizes strength and power. In her book Ms.Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. For example，her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to attend a sleep-over，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games. They couldnt choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an AThey had to play piano or violinand no other musical instruments. She writes that if a Chinese child gets a Bwhich she says” would never happen”there would be a screaming，hairtearing explosion”She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectlyyelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroomuntil it was. Many people have criticized Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive. She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objects to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters. Stacy DeBroff，who has written four books about parenting，says Amy Chuas parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy DeBroff advised parents not to just repeat the way they were raised. Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washingtons Bothell campus said，“I dont think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks(衡量标准)of a good life. But I can imagine how strong her daughters college applications are going to be. For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，dedicated parental guidance，”Lo said in an interview with Julie Muhlstein，a columnist with the US-based H.“In that sense，a young adults giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.28According to the passage，which is TRUE of Amy Chua? AShe is an easy-going woman. BShe is an assistant professor. CShe is a demanding parent. DShe is a cruel teacher.29Which of the following are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do? APlaying the piano. BPlaying the guitar. CDating with boys. DGetting an A minus.30Stacy DeBroff advised parents to_. Aseek a better future for their children Bdevelop their own style of parenting Cbe strict with their children Dfollow Amy Chuas parenting style31Alison Lo concluded that_. Apersistent，dedicated parental guidance is the best parenting style Bparents should respect childrens personalities Ca gifted child was born with talent Da teenager can be raised to be talent by strict parenting D A dog might be mans best friend, but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, but owning one is not for the nervousness. Its workespecially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs, your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly landmines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. Youll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, youre also keeping harmful microorganisms away from the drinking water supply.There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you dont clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our streams. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish. Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it wont fertilize your yard either if you leave it behind like other types of fertilizer. Dogs dont eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden. You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste into the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, its best to send the waste to the landfill. When you properly deal with your dogs waste, youll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of your yards, your neighborhoods and your drinking water.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The authors dog is as lovely as a child. B. Dog waste can pollute the environment. C. Owning a dog is a troublesome experience. D. Dog waste is more harmful than landmines.33. Which shows the right organization of the passage?（P1 Paragraph 1; P2 Paragraph 2; P3 Paragraph 3; P4 Paragraph 4; P5 Paragraph 5）34. Which of the following statements about dog waste is true? A. It makes a kind of natural fertilizer of high quality. B. The microorganisms in dog waste are helpful to water. C. It is better to wash dog waste down a toilet or bury it in a landfill. D. Dog waste is more beneficial to soil than other kinds of animal waste.35. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To scold those who ignore their dogs waste. B. To introduce ways of cleaning up dog waste. C. To warn dog owners about the danger of dog waste. D. To argue it is the duty of the owners to clean up dog waste.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. 36 They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways；that they are too serious and too strict with their children；and that they seldom give their children a free hand. 37 Parents tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example，young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. 38 Most of them plan things ahead，at least in the back of their minds，and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes，in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble；it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world，into which they have not yet been accepted. 39 And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech，this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. 40 It is natural enough，after being a child for so many years，when you were completely under your parents control. If you plan to control your life，youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility，they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. A. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust. B. Young people tend to do what they like. C. They say that their parents dont understand them.D. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.E. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own.F. While older people worry more easily. G. Do trust your parents and follow their suggestions. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。注意：将答案写在答题纸上。写在本试卷上无效。第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.
