Neil had said one of those things that parents say, like “isnt it time you were in bed.” His son looked up at him, angry and said, “I wish I didnt have a dad! I wish I had a goldfish!” That conversation gave birth to Neils book, “The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish”. The book is a funny adventure of a son searching for the dad he swapped.Whether they realize it or not, fathers play an important role in their childrens development. Roland Warren, Director of the National Fatherhood Initiative, says that, “The shape of their dads has a role in the kids soul.” I agree. We live in the best of times and the worst of times for fatherhood. We live in the best of times because fathers who are engaged in their childs life spend more time than fathers of any previous generation. We live in the worst of times because there are still millions of children who continue to miss the regular presence of Dad.What difference does a dad make? Are they really that important? For the most part, studies have proved clearly that fathers, whether they live with their children or not, matter in the lives of their children. When fathers are present, they provide economic support for their children and care-giving responsibilities. Well-fathered children are shown to be more emotionally intelligent and socially successful as adults. When fathers are absent, their absence may negatively influence childrens academic achievement, general behavioural adjustment and anger management, especially in males.Yet just being physically present isnt enough to be a great father. It is important that a dad be warm and emotionally available to his child. Author and researcher, John Gottman, describes this kind of father as an “emotion coaching father”. Emotion coaches are parents who listen to their childrens feelings, see the sharing of feelings as an opportunity for intimacy（亲密）. It is not just the mere presence of fathers that matters, but how they are present. Most children long for and need a loving, devoted and responsible father.25. The author introduces his topic by _.A. presenting the results of studies B. telling a storyC. making a comparison D. interviewing some experts26. What does the author mean in Paragraph 2 by saying “We live in the worst of times ”?A. Todays fathers dont care about their childrens emotions.B. Lots of childrens fathers have to work every day.C. Lots of childrens fathers are absent from their lives.D. Todays fathers dont have care giving responsibilities.27. According to the text, a well-fathered child is more likely to _.A. lose control of anger B. obtain high academic achievementC. have low emotional intelligence D. have good social skills28. We can learn from the text that an “emotion coaching father” is a father who _.A. gives economic support to his child B. shares his childs emotionsC. tries to change his childs emotions D. is always available to his childCOne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes.It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like I was wrong about that, and it is even harder to say,I was wrong,and you were right about that.I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up,and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons(箱子).Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time,and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping.On that particular day,I must have found my way to dairy food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.The cartons were stacked (堆放)three or four feet high.I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks.Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons.For some reason,I decided it was up to me to put the display back together,so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened.When he appeared,I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken,but to him it looked as though I was the criminal.He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.I protested my innocence and tried to explain,but it did no good.Even though I quickly forget all about the incident,obviously the manager did not.29.Who was to blame for knocking off the pile of cartons?A The author B The managerC A woman D The authors mother30Which of the correct order of the following?a.I forgot all about the incidentb.I went into the storec.A woman knocked off the egg cartonsd.I stood in front of the egg cartonse.The manger reminds me of the incident.f.The manger didnt believe my explanationg.I picked up the unbroken eggsA. b,d,g,c,a,f.eB. b,d,c,g,f,e,aC. b,c,d,g,e,f,aD.b,d,c,g,f,a,e31.The word reprimandedin the last paragraph most exactly means A.frightened B.scold C.warned D.comforted32.The tone of the article expresses the author s_A admiration for the managers willingness to admit mistakesB anger to the manager for his wrongC dissatisfaction with the woman who knocked off the pile cartonsD regret for the mistake he made in the storeDWhether you prefer burning the midnight oil or going to bed early so you can get up at the break of dawn depends on your genes, according to experts.I jump out of bed each morning, eager to start an active day. But I can hear my neighbors alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work on time.A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening. Hes happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight, while I go to bed early and try to sleep.Well, it might not be his fault after all. Im called“a lark (百灵鸟)”and my neighbor“an owl (猫头鹰)”We all have inside “clocks”in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light. These inside clocks run to a different schedule in “larks” and “owls”. If you have a fast clock, you like to do things early, and if you have a slow clock, you like to do things late.Because we live in a 24/7 world, scientists believe its important to understand a persons “chronotype?the time of the day when they function the best. It could help us lead a healthier life.A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.And he has advice for those who cant choose their working hours:“If thats not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure,” says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike. The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light, like computer, screens and other electronic devices.”33.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By presenting and solving problems.B.By explaining the cause-effect relationship.C.By giving examples and drawing a conclusion.D.By analyzing differences and providing advice.34We can learn from the passage that the authors neighbour _.A.almost always gets to work on timeB.has to work deep into the night every dayC.is passive during the day but energetic at nightD.is easily woken up by his alarm clock in the morning35What does the underlined phrase burning the midnight oilin Paragraph 1 most probably means “_”.A.Drilling for oil in the midnightB.Using too much oil in the midnightC.staying upD.Getting up late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。Each Indian tribe (部落) had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. 36Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. In the Indian sign language,signs were made with the hands.Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away.To make signals, an Indian might use a pony (a small horse). 37 . Or he might use smoke, or a mirror.To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. 38 .The blanket signal could be seen from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. 39 He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he tried to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code.40 .At night,Indians used fire arrow for signaling.An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he removes the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.Now you can see that Indians didnt need to learn each others language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.Of course,mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining.An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.But they still can make themselves understood.This meant that there was danger.Different things mean different to themHe might use a blanketOne way was by sign language;the other way by signals.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；每小题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和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。The Gift at the Parking LotI never thought I would be writing about a trip to the convenience store.
