I learnt that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my coworker told me that this boys teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my coworker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation：“So what happened today？”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didnt let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. 21. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he _A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension22. Why didnt the author do anything about the boys bad behaviour at first?A. She didnt want to make it worse.B. She didnt mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadnt thought of a coping strategy.23.

Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end? A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behaviour.C. He was fearful of the authors warning.D.

Better LifeC. Humor TimesD. News ChinaCNative to America, the cane toad (癞蛤蟆) was introduced to Northern Queensland 70 years ago to control sugarcane beetles (甘蔗害虫). The toads failed in that duty but spread across Queensland and into neighboring northern areas. Now it calmly invades(侵略) the stats of Western Australia and New South Wales ( NSW). NSW wildlife experts fear the amphibians which have poisonous backs that kill hungry predators (食肉动物) 一will have a terrible effect on native animals. Those fears may be about to be realized. Australias leading government research body, the Commonwealth Science and Industry Research Organization (CSIRO), forecasts that a rise in average temperatures will make NSW an ideal living place for the cane toads. Tony Robinson, head of CSIROs Wildlife, Pests, and Diseases Program, said climate change is increasing the amount of suitable living place for the cane toads. “With climate change, the cane toads might go down as far as Sydney and some areas of Western Australia,” Robinson said. Recent estimates put the pace of the toads westward march at nearly 17 miles (27 kilometers) a year and slightly slower from north to south. “More southerly (南部的) cities, such as Melbourne and Adelaide, would likely remain too cold and dry to ever suit the toads,” Robinson noted, “but Perth could expect cane toads in five years time.” Sydney could see their arrival in the next 20 years. Robinson said there is no method that will keep the toads under control. The cane toads already cover at least half of Queensland and most of the northern country. The toads are believed to number in the billions. A Venezuelan virus was tried in the 1990s but had to be given up after it was found to also kill native frog species. Scientists and governmental bodies believe a national approach is needed. The main threat the toads cause to species such as dingoes, and crocodiles is the poison contained in glands (腺) on each of their shoulders. The poison sprays out when the toads are threatened or handled roughly. The poison is made up of 14 different chemicals. Cane toads also compete, and usually win, the hunt for food and living space. ”If the government and other states combine resources, I believe we can achieve a very practical biological-control research program,” Bums said. 29. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Poison Toads Leap Across Australia B. Strategies to Keep the Toads under Control C. The Main Threat the Cane Toads Cause D. Climate Favours the Spread of Cane Toads30. It can be inferred from the passage that A. the cane toad bites its enemy dead when it is threatened or handled rudely B. the cane toad has already threatened the survival of all the native species C. scientists and governmental bodies have achieved a successful biological-control program D. the cane toad likes warm and wet weather 31. The underlined words “the amphibians” in the second paragraph mean _. A. hungry predators B. sugarcane beetles C. the cane toads D. dingos 32. According to the passage, the cane toad is the least likely to live in _A. Queensland B. Melbourne C. Sydney D. Perth DOne May morning, 10-year-old Khadab played in the ruins of a school near his home in northern Iraq. He saw something that looked interesting. It was yellow and plastic and looked like a ball. He reached for his new toy and, BANG! The last thing he remembered was a big noise. When Khadab awoke, he was in hospital. His parents stood sadly by his side. They told him he had picked up an unexploded bomb. When it exploded, Khadab lost an arm. He was just one of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been injured or killed by stepping on and picking up explosives left over from the war. These landmines (地雷) and bombs have injured and killed at least 15 people a day since Saddam Husseins government fell on April 9. And children are the most affected. Iraq is among the worst landmine-affected countries in the world. Many villages in the war-torn areas are surrounded by minefields (雷区). These landmines lie on the ground between rocks, up in trees and on riverbeds. Even though the war in Iraq is over, many children have not returned to school. They can be seen walking the streets with the natural curiosity of young kids. Their new playgrounds are places where the fighting took place. Many boys can be seen playing with unexploded bombs. A new game is to throw the bombs and run away. Some of them get away, but too many are killed. They do this for fun, and dont realize the dangers until its too late. UNICEF (联合国教科文组织) has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq. They hope to make children aware of the dangers they face. “I cant imagine theres going to be a classroom in the north without scared children in it. Its so widespread,” said Sean Sutton of the British-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG). MAG is an organization working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas. It is difficult to report the exact number of deaths. Sutton said MAG found 320 injuries in northern Iraq in the first month after April 9. But he said the real figure was probably much higher. 33. What Khadab saw was exactly _A. a ball B. a toy C. an unexploded bomb D. a plastic ball 34. What measures have been taken to remove the dangers of explosives left over? A. MAG has been working to clear unexploded bombs and landmines in war-torn areas. B. UNICEF has warned children, through the TV, of the dangers of landmines and unexploded bombs in Iraq. C. Children have all returned to school. D. Both A and B 35. Whats best title for the text? A. Iraq after the warB. MAG helps Iraq remove the landminesC. Kids play with deathD.

So the Obama administration has eased the limits in states in measuring performance. 37 . This new measurement tool is called the Colorado Growth Model. The ideas is to show academic growth, not just achievement on tests. It combines test scores, family income levels, school size, the ethnicity of the student and many other factors. 38 . The graph shows a schools average score on standardized tests as well as its academic growth.On average, students enter sixth grade at WEST Denver Prep performing below grade level. 39 The new assessment(评价) method shows that, each year, the average West Denver Prep student learns more math than ninety-four percent of all the students in Colorado. 40 Josh Smith says perhaps the most important thing they should learn is to believe in themselves.A. The results from schools across the state are shown online on a graph.B. Reading and writing scores also show growth.C. For ten years now, federal law has tied this spending to student performance.D. Therefore, the government feels it a great pressure.E. But three years later, most are outperforming other students across the state.F. However, the limits dont work at all.G. The western state of Colorado, for example, has a new assessment method.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 、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was in my high school science class.
