It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.I felt annoyed, but I didnt want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasnt sure, but it seemed to me that four hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in todays world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They dont want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.So, who is right？Is homework an enemy or a help？According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.21. The author never complained to the teacher because_.A. she was too angry to talk with the teacherB. she did not like complaining at allC. she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacherD. her daughter would be annoyed if she complained22. People who are against more homework believe that_.A. it is good for the rich rather than for the poorB. parents are too busy to help children with their studiesC. it increases the gap between parents and childrenD. homework cant help children learn at all23. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Experts think middle school students should do lots of homework.B. Experts havent come up with any idea to solve this problem.C. Experts support the idea that homework is good for students.D. Experts think homework should be given, but not too much.B There is an English saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve peoples health. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Laughter helps improve health. B. Laughter shares similar functions with physical exercises. C. Laughter can take the place of medicine. D. Laughter acts as a painkiller to some extent.25. The underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 3 means “_”. A. stopsB. killsC. lessensD. rises26. According to the author, we should_. A. watch more funny films B. always keep quiet C. often visit laughter clinics D. often laugh happilyCSome people say that city living in the 21st century is stressful and offers no advantages, but I dont agree with them completely.With the development of high-tech and the improvement of living qualities, more and more people crowded into city, which leads to the uncontrollable urbanization(城市化). Because of this, some of the largest cities must be fairly oppressive(压抑的) places in which to live if you are short of money or unemployed. However, for those with much income, a city provides colorful environment which enables people to enjoy their modern life. In that case, I believe the advantages of urban living far outweigh from its shortcomings.Regarding shopping, as for me, rather than click on the Internet to get what I want, I prefer to windowshop. All kinds of shopping malls and supermarkets located in city centre really content me. Whats more, a large citys service even covers numbers of the surrounding towns and benefits many people.In terms of entertainment, city residents are usually spoiled for choice, from amusement park to sport stadium, whoever you are will find exactly what you need. Maybe going to a concert tonight and visiting museums tomorrow. City always contains various activities and full of energy.City also provides better opportunities with so many choices and challenges. Cities with universities offer high-standard education so that graduates from these places always get ideal jobs with considerable salary. Every day in the business district, you can see a fierce competition among those large companies, while there are exactly places that may give birth to talents.Many People may complain about the traffic jam or pollution in the city, but I think with some useful measures to take, our city will be more habitable rather than stressful.27. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage? A. City living in the 21st century is stressful B. City provides more conveniences and pleasures C. City living brings great trouble to the youth D. City is gradually dying out as a matter of fact 28. The advantages of urban living are _. A. disposable income and colorful environment B. quantities of population and shopping centers C. great entertainments and better education D. strong measures and fresh air 29. City residents are usually spoiled for choice because _. A. they have no more choices for amusement B. they can hardly find what they like to do C. there are so many kinds of entertainment D. they will spend more money in a way 30. Whats the attitude of the author to the disadvantages in city? A. Disappointed B. Hopeful C. Subjective D. Cold-hearted 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Farmers, especially in developing countries, are often criticized for cutting down forests. But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value in keeping trees.Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares(公顷) of farmland. 31 . The study found the most tree cover in South America. 32 North Africa and West Asia have the least. And it also found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. 33 . There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.Dennis Garrity heads the World Agroforestry Center. 34 The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They provide windbreaks and shade from the sun. 35 Even under drought conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.A. Almost all of it is covered by trees.B. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together.C. He says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees.D.
