Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, _23_ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not _24_ to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as _25_ of childrens literature（文学） were in fact written for _26_ .“Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this. Children, left for themselves, often _27_ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a _28_ and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most childrens comics（连环图书）, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop _29_ to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so _30_ that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose well just have to compromise（妥协）over the bedtime story.16.

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan (麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait (海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellans expedition（征程）. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.46. The purpose of Magellans expedition was to _. A. find a seaway from the Atlantic to the Pacific B. sail round the worldC. carry men to Philippines D. make a voyage to Asia 47.

The Most Dangerous Expedition C. The Discovery of the Philippines D. The Discovery of Magellans Strait ( C ) The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but its always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria , red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.51Easter comes _.A. on the same date every year B. on Sunday on March 22C. on Sunday on April 25 D. on a Sunday between March 22 and April 2552To celebrate Easter, people _.A. go shopping, hide colored eggs and children hunt for themB. give Easter baskets filled candy and goodies to one anotherC. buy new clothes, hide colored eggs and children look for them around the houseD. both B and C53For Christians the more important thing to do on Easter is_.A. going to church to celebrate Jesus resurrection B. buying new clothesC. eating delicious food and paint color eggs D. exchange beautiful gifts each other54People from different cultures have different ideas about Easter egg _.A.

In America, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from doorbells55In some places of Austria, children sing from door to door for_.A. blesses B. Easter eggs C. candy and goodies D. Easter bunny( D )Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, its not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test - unless the person cheats again. Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.56The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.Ait is unfair to other people Bit does harm to their healthCteachers should punish them Dteachers shouldnt stop them at once57Some students like cheating mainly because_.Athe material in the test is very difficult Bthey want to do better than the othersCcheating can make hard things seem very easy Dthey have little time to study their lessons58The fourth paragraph mainly tells us_.Acheating isnt a good ideaBwhy kids cheat in the testCsome kids cant pass the test without cheating Dsome kids dont spend the time studying59We can learn from the passage_.Acheaters are often thought highly of Bpeople show no respect for those who cheatCparents whose kids cheat are often in trouble Dkids cheat in the test because of swim practice60In the passage those cheaters are advised to_.Aspend more time on school than on sportsBfind good solutions instead of cheatingCtry hard to be intelligent rather than lazy Dask their classmates for good methods of study第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。The people below are all trying to choose which TV programme to watch.
