up to lead happy lives Experts advise 1 Helping them find their talents In order to succeed children need to 4 feel they re good at something So expose your children to as many interests as possible then let them choose those they like best 2 Applauding their achievements A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school and in life than students whose parents didn t show such support So celebrate your kids achievements no matter how small they are 3 Praising their efforts Kids won t always come out on top Still they deserve kudos 赞誉 for trying their best Ten year old April Cutler for example has had trouble with math since second grade She usually gets C s on her report card but last year she was determined to get A s and worked hard at it says her mom When the first grading period ended April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math Lueille continues But my husband and I told her we were very proud that she d improved That inspired her to try even harder She got a B plus for the next period 4 Letting them make decisions and mistakes Making his her own decisions increases a child s sense of control and builds his her self esteem 自尊心 And allowing kids to make wrong decisions so long as doing so won t harm them helps kids learn from their mistakes 5 Encouraging them to solve their own problems As they grow children need practice in communicating standing up for themselves and compromising One of the best places to learn these skills is at home So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her step back and let them work it out 46 What is the purpose of the passage A To encourage parents to admire their kids B To show how to praise kids C To help kids study harder D To give advice on how to help kids become mature 47 The passage is mainly intended for A kids B parents C teachers D educators 48 From the example of April Cutler we can learn that A praising

should parents allow kids to make mistakes A Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid B Adults also make mistakes now and then C Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes D Making mistakes won t harm kids B B My grandmother was from a town in Michigan Summer after summer I 5 enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in People knew everyone their kids their pets their ancestors The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting She would make little sandwiches and we d have tea parties She d make beautiful quilts for each one I remember the small thimble 顶针 she would use while doing her needle work A few years ago when Grandma left this earth I bid farewell to a loving grandmother How quickly our lives can change We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier on her 91st birthday I missed her very much On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow It was small and hard I moved the object to a seam 接缝 that I carefully opened and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her Not realizing it had fallen off her finger I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I ve collected over the years where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow I knew was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow I made some tea using my best china as Grandma always did and enjoyed my tea and Grandma s thimble What a wonderful birthday that was 50 The author wrote this passage to A show she missed living with her grandma B express a desire to lead a simple life C call on people to care for the old D recall her happy childhood 51 The author liked staying with her grandparents because A they often bought her some gifts B she was curious about people and things there C she could have tea parties and eat sandwiches D she could learn to sew quilts 52 How did the author feel when she found the silver thimble A Sad B Proud C Lucky D Cheerful 53 It can be inferred from the passage that the silver thimble A was the item the author had been trying to find B was the most treasured possession of Grandma C was very precious to the author D was a birthday gift Grandma had given the author C 6 I am a good mother to three children I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent I no longer consider myself the center of the universe I show up I listen I try to laugh I am a good friend to my husband I have tried to make marriage vows 誓言 mean what they say I am a good friend to my friends and they to me Without them there would be nothing to say to you today So here s what I want to tell you today Get a life A real life not a desire of the next promotion the bigger paycheck the larger house Get a life in which you are not alone Find people you love and who love you And remember that love is not leisure it is work Pick up the phone Send an e mail Write a letter And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted It s so easy to waste our lives our days our hours and our minutes It s so easy to exist instead of to live I learnt to live many years ago Something really really bad happened to me something that changed my life in ways that if I had my choice it would never have been changed at all And what I learned from it is what today seems to be the hardest lesson of all I learned to love the journey not the destination I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it completely and totally And I tried to do that in part by telling others what I had learned By telling them this Read in the backyard with the sun on your face Learn to be happy And think of life as a deadly illness because if you do you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived 54 It can be inferred from the passage that A the author is a success in personal life B the author didn t try her best to work well C the author spent all her time caring for her children D the author likes traveling very much 55 How did the author form her view of life A Through social experience B By learning from her friends C Through an unfortunate experience D From her children and husband 56 By the underlined sentence It s so easy to exist instead of to live in the fifth paragraph the author really means that people tend to A make a living rather than live a real life B work rather than enjoy life C waste a lot in life D forget the most important lessons in life 57 What s the author s attitude toward work 7 A Do it well to serve others B Earn enough money to make life better C Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise D Don t let it affect your real life D D Happy Leap Day Leap Day you ask Yes it s February 29 You may notice this date didn t appear on last year s calendar or the year before that or the year before that That s because Leap Day happens once every four years and 2008 is a leap year A leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365 that an ordinary year has An extra day is added to the calendar in a leap year and here s why The 365 days of the calendar are meant to match up with the solar year A solar year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun about one year But the Earth s yearly trip around the Sun takes a bit longer than 365 days The orbit takes 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds to be exact That time equals roughly one quarter of a day so the calendar and the solar year don t match exactly After a few years that extra time in the solar year begins to accumulate After four years for example the four extra quarter days would make the calendar fall behind the solar year by about a day According to the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies a club for people born on Leap Day there are an estimated 4 million people whose birthdays come but once every four years But who wants to wait four years to celebrate your birthday Most celebrate yearly on February 28 or March 1 There was a time when strict rules prevented women from proposing marriage to their beloved In most cultures that s not the case anymore In fact female pioneers who thought this rule was clearly unfair managed to get Leap Year established as an acceptable time for women to pop the question to unmarried men So on February 29 one day every four years a man could be surprised with an offer he couldn t refuse The first documentation of this day of ladies choice was in 1288 in Scotland Officials then decided to pass a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year They also made it law that any man who said no to a proposal in a leap year had to pay a fine The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves 58 According to the first two paragraphs we can conclude that A February 29 never appears on the calendar B February 29 comes once every 4 years every Leap Year C 2008 has 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds D an ordinary year has one day more than a leap year 59 What does the underlined phrase pop the question probably mean A Propose marriage B Refuse marriage C Ask questions D Give directions 8 60 Which topic can best describe the last paragraph A What Ladies Can Do with the Extra Day B It s Unfair to Prevent Ladies from Offering Love C Leap Year Is Ladies Choice D Respect Ladies in Leap Year 第二节 共 5 小题 每题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容 从下框的的 A F 选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有一项 为多途选项 E AB F AC A A careful analysis biologically B What is global warming C Solution to the terrifying result D Greater danger of extinction E Many shocking things were found F A shocking report 61 The earth is getting warmer People burn coal oil and gas and this produces carbon dioxide methane 沼气 and nitrous oxide These gases called greenhouse gases prevent the heat of the sun from leaving the earth s upper atmosphere and this makes the earth warmer 62 A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals According to what they found the scientists say that during the next 50 years about 25 of land animals and plants will become extinct More than a million plant and animal species will be extinct by 2050 63 More than 10 of all plants and animals will become extinct It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now we could save many more plant and animals from extinction 64 The scientists studied some regions of the world with a very rich biology These were Europe Australia Central and South America and South Africa Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler In flat areas such as deserts plants and animals would have to move a very long distance to get cooler so they are in grater danger of extinction 65 The scientists found that half of the 24 species of butterflies they studied in Australia would soon become extinct 6
