It was Li Jianrou. The 27-year-old finished first in the womens 500m short track speed skating on Feb 13. The race was full of drama. Three athletes fell over because of an accident caused by Elise Christie of Britain in the second turn and Li became the surprise winner. Three-time defending champion Wang Meng of China missed the Olympics after breaking her ankle last month. Li had little experience in the race, where getting off to a quick Start is important. But she kept her cool while everyone else was falling around her. “I feel very lucky,” Li said through a translator. She and one of her coaches cried tears of joy after China joined South Korea as the only countries to win the same short track event four Olympics in a row. The Koreans won the 3,000 relay in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006. “I cried because I was so excited,” Li said. “My coach told me this medal is for Wang Meng as well, so I felt very moved.”Lis victory made up for the surprising fall of teammate Fan Kexin in the semifinals. In the semis, Fan didnt even complete the first lap of the race, catching her left blade（冰刀）as she skated near the front. She crashed on all fours into the crew of workers who maintain the ice between races. They climbed onto the top of the pads to avoid being injured by Fans long, sharp blades.

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 sleepover，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games.They couldnt choose their own afterclass 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 7yearold 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 USbased H.“In that sence，a young adults giftedness can be born，or made，”Lo continued.【语篇解读】 耶鲁大学华裔教授Amy Chua的新书虎妈战歌成为美国人热议的话题，她提出的“中国式”严苛教子方法引发了巨大争议。1According to the

made.”“从这个意义上讲，年轻人的天赋可以是天生的，也可以通过后天严格的教养而激发”，故D项正确。A项与原文意思achievable“有成就的”有出入，文中并无信息表明“persistent，dedicated parental guidance”是“最好的”。答案D【2015高考复习】阅读理解Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16yearold had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，I had to drop out of school， ” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Irelands president and former UN.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an everincreasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，”she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in SubSaharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa，where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a yearmore than double Asias 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africas population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education
