reading can open a world of joy for students, and one north carolina principal (校长) wants to spread that moment of happiness to them on their birthday.glenn cook, principal of pleasant ridge elementary school in gastonia, north carolina, came up with an idea to give each student a book on their birthday. with about 900 students attending pleasant ridge, it is not an easy task, but cook says hes ready to “go big or go home”. he is going to include every student in this project.“i didnt have a lot of kids books,” said cook. “so i put the idea online, and i wanted to see if any of my friends needed to clean off their bookshelves at home. i was hoping to get maybe 50 books for the first round of birthdays.” the number of books cook received was surprising. “were probably getting maybe 500 books,” said cook. there are so many books taking up space all over his office.the idea started when cook attended a professional development event. he asked another principal for advice. this principal told him that at her school, she gave her students a pencil on their birthday.he wanted to take this idea to the next level, so he began reading himself. he came up with the idea that a principal should share his excitement and love for reading. the goal of giving these books to students is to find a book thats right for each one, so they can experience the happiness of reading.local businesses have joined the project to donate books. michelle clear, a parent at pleasant ridge, decided to support cooks project and offer her store as a book donation center. “reading just opens up so many ways in kids lives,” clear noted. “hopefully this will get across the nation to call on more people to donate books.” 21. what can we learn from “go big or go home” in paragraph 2?a. cook wants to collect many great books.b. cook has made up his mind to run this project.c. cook will visit each students home.d. cook will face a lot of problems. 22. why did cook carry out the project?a. to encourage students to read.b. to advertise his school online.c. to celebrate students birthdays.d. to help friends clean the bookshelves. 23. what can be the best title for the text?a. a principal is carrying out a big projectb. reading makes students and principal closec. a principal gives students a special birthday gift d. reading brings students happiness and excitement b for more than 60 years, lego bricks (乐高积木) have brought so much fun to children. now, a new type of lego is in the works. theyre lego braille (盲文) bricks, and theyre being tested around the world. lego braille bricks are designed to help people learn braille. thats a set of writing in which letters are shown by raised dots (凸点). people who are blind or have some problems with their eyes use their fingers to read it. according to the world health organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. in the u.s., only 10% of blind children learn braille. lego braille bricks can help change that. the small raised dots on the bricks are placed as braille letters. blind children can use these raised dots to learn braille. lego plans to start selling braille bricks next year. for some schools, the bricks will be free. each set will contain about 250 bricks. along with the letters, the bricks will have numbers and math symbols.the danish association of the blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using lego bricks to teach braille. thorkild olesen is the president of the group. in 2011, olesens organization shared its idea for braille bricks with the lego foundation. olesen explained to the toy maker that the raised dots on legos are similar to braille letters. olesen is blind. he says many teachers dont have the tools and skills to help kids learn braille. so they teach with audio (音频的) tools, such as audio books. “like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing,” olesen said. “audio is great. but it can never replace braille. braille is the single most important tool for us in order to learn to spell correctly, read and write like sighted people.” 24. what do we know about lego braille bricks?a. they are free for blind children.b. they tell stories to blind kids.c. they are used to teach blind kids to read.d. they are mainly used to please blind kids. 25. whats stressed in the third paragraph?a. the meaning of lego braille bricks.b. the difficulties of blind children.c. the great need for learning tools.d. the fun of playing legos. 26. why is thorkild olesen mentioned in the text?a. to show how lego bricks help blind kids.b. to tell that blind kids get knowledge by listening.c. to prove that writing and reading help kids express. d. to show he put forward the idea of lego braille bricks. c“if you dont behave, ill call the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. a new psychology study led by nanyang technological university, singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.the research team asked 379 singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond to adulthood challenges. the first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. some examples of such lies are “if you dont come with me now, i will leave you here by yourself” and “i dont bring money with me today; we can come back another day”. the second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and tendency to behave selfishly and impulsively (冲动地). adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. they also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. lead author setoh peipei from ntu singapores school of social sciences said, “parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. when parents tell children that honesty is the best policy, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. parents dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”“our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing childrens feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior,” said lead author setoh peipei. but the study has its limitations. some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents lying. “future research can explore using many informants, such as parents, to report on the same thing,” suggested setoh. 27. what did the research team do during the study?a. they turned to 379 singaporean children.b. they looked for questionnaires on the internet.c. they collected answers to some sets of questions.d. they asked the young adults parents for information. 28. what does the underlined word “erode” in paragraph 5 mean?a. reflect.b. exchange.c. destroy.d. recover. 29. which of the following might setoh peipei agree with? a. parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids.b. parents had better explain to their kids why theyve lied.c. parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly. d. parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting.30. what is the main idea of the text?a. parents lying to children can influence them negatively. b. parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble. c. childrens behavior can be affected by their parents. d. children may lie more if their parents often lie.第二节(共5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。maybe youre sensitive to caffeine (咖啡因). or you might just want to try different kinds of tea. if you need that to refresh yourself, you may wonder if tea has
