Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo.

Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesnt allow them to keep an eye on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you dont know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you dont have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 year old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldnt be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldnt allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!64The writer implies that parents busy lifestyle .Amakes their children become independentBmay lead to a tense parent child relationshipCis harmful to their childrens healthDis likely to create a troubled generation65What does the underlined word “lenient” (in Para 2) mean?ANot responsible BNot strict.CUnkind.DUnfair.66It seems that the writer agrees that students .Ashould stay at home on weekendsBcan wear trendy clothes at schoolChad better wear school uniform at schoolDcan be allowed to go out in the evenings67According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for childrens problems?AThe social environment.BThe educational system.CEach family.DThe school.孩子不公平。【考点定位】考查词义猜测能力。66.【答案】C【解析】根据第四段Pupils shouldnt be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.可知孩子在校应该穿校服【考点定位】考查细节推理能力。67.【答案】A【解析】根据文章第一句和最后一段可知是现代社会应该对孩子的问题负主要责任。【考点定位】考查细节理解能力。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Dear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind.
