The position of
children in American family and society is no
longer what is used to be. The
36 family in
colonial(殖民时期的) North America was mainly concerned
with survival and 37
that, its own
economic prosperity. Thus, children were 38 in
terms of their productivity(生产
能力), and they
played the role of producer quite early. 39 they
fulfilled this role, their
position in the
family was one of subordination(附属).
With the
40 of the society, the position of children in
the family and in the society
became more

society 41 the United Stated has

each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and
occupational 43 and be in contact
with many
other member. 44 , viewing children as necessary
members of society means that
they are 45
more as people in their own right than as those of
subordination. This acceplance
of children as
46 participants in the family is reflected in
various laws 47 the rights of
children and
in the social and public welfare programs.
This new 48 of children and the frequent
contact between the members of society has
also 49 an increasing interest in child-
raising techniques. People today spend much time
50
the proper way to 51 children.
Nowadays, the socialization of the child in
the United States is a 52 transaction(事务)
between parent and child 53 a one-way,
parent-to-child training 54 . As a consequence,
socializing children and 55 with them over a
long period of time is for parents a mixture of
pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）
中，选出最佳选项，并在答题
卡上将该项涂黑。
A
After the
Summer Olympics are
over, when all the
athletics have gone
home and the television
audience has
switched off, another group of
athletics
and fans will arrive at the host
city, and
another competition will
begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for
athletes with a disability.
But in Beijing in
2008, for the first time, one of the greatest
Paralympics will not be taking part.
She is
a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-
Thormpson. Born with spine hifida (脊椎
裂) which
left her paralysed from the waist Bown. Tanni used
a wheelchair from the age of 7. at
first, she
was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding,
which gave her a sense of freedom. But
in her
teens, she started taking sports more seriously.
She tried swimming, basketball and tennis.
Eventually she found athletics, and never
looked back.
Indeed, Tanni’s athletic career
took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off
a surprise
victory in the 100metres at the
Junior National Wheelchair Games.
In 1998,
Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul.
She won bronze in the 400
metres. Even greater
success followed at the 1992 Barcelonn.
Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the
100, 200,
400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world
records in the process. In the same year she
achieved she first of her six London
Wheelchair Marathon victories.
Tanni’s
enduring success had been part motivation(动机),
part preparation, “The training I do
that
enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) enables me
to be good at a marathon too. I
train 50 weeks
of the year and that keeps me prepared for
whatever distance I want to see…. I am
still
competing at a very high lever, but as I get older
things get harder and I want to retire before I
fall apart.”
Indeed Tanni retired
finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in
2007. Her wish is to
coach young athletes for
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
In spite of ups
and downs, she never take her fate lying down. In
her splendid life, she has won
an amazing
eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in
series of Paralympics- a top lever
athletic
career covering two decades. She has won the
London Wheelchair Marathon six times,
more
than any other competitor, and she has set over
thirty world records.
What advice does she
have for young athletes? “Work hard at your
studies, and then train,
train and train
again.”
56. Which of the following
sports did Tanni like before thirteen?
A.
Basketball B. Swimming. C.
Tennis. D. Horse-riding.
57. When did
Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?
A.
In 1984. B. In 1988. C. In
1992. D. In 2007.
58. The underlined
word “that” in the 5th paragraph refers to
_______.
A. fifty weeks’ training
B. being a good sprinter
C. training almost
every day D. part motivation and part
preparation
59. What’s the right order of the
events related to Tanni?
a. She works as a
coach. b. She took up athletics.
c. She won four gold medals in Barcelong. d.
She competed in her first Paralympic
Games.
e. She achieved a victory in her first
London Wheelchair Marathon.
A. b, d, c, e a
B. a, d, b, c ,e C. A,d,c,e,b D.
b.d.a.e.c
60. What can we learn from Tanni’s
success?
A. Union is strength.
B. Never too late to learn.
C. Well begun
is half done. D. No pains, no gains.
B
For years we have been told that encouraging a
child’s self-respect is important to his or her
success is life. But child experts are now
learning that too much praise can lead to the
opposite
effect. Praise-sholic kids who
expect it at every turn may become teens who seek
to same kind
of approval from friends when
asked if they want to go in the backscat of the
car.
The implication(含义) of saying “You
are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about
the
goals she succeed but not her overall
effort, is that you love her only when she looks
the best,
some she highest, achieves the most.
And this carries over to the classroom.
Social
psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects
of overpraise on 400fifth graders
while she
was at Columbia University. She found that kids
praised for “trying hard” did better on
testes
and were more likely to take on difficult
assignments than those praised for being “smart”.
“Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a
false promise that success will come to you
because you have that quality, and it devalues
effort, so children are afraid to take on
challenges, ”
says Dweck, now at Stanford
University, “They figure they’s better quit while
they’re ahead.”
61. The underlined words
“Praise-sholic kids” refers to kids who are
______.
A. tired of being praised
B. worthy of being praised
C. very proud of
being praised D. extremely fond of being
praised
62. The author quoted(引用) Dr. Dweck’s
words in the last paragraph in order to make the
article
_____.
A. better-known B.
better-organized C. more percussive D. more
interesting
63. We can infer from the passage
that _____.
A. praise for efforts should be
more encouraged
B. praise for results works
better than praise for efforts
C. praising
a child’s achievements benefits his or her success
in life
D. praising a child’s abilities
encourage him or her to take on challenges
C

The global energy
crisis is approaching. What ca we do? Here are
some steps you can take.
Cooling puts the
greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the
power grid(电网). Just as t
tune-up for your car
can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of
your heating and cooling
system can improve
efficiency and comfort. Clean or replaces filters
monthly or as needed.
For central air
conditioning systems and room air conditioners,
look for the ENERGY STAR,
the federal
government’s symbol for energy efficiency. For
central air, purchase the system with
the
highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Raton.
(SEER)
Use energy-efficient ceiling
fans either alone or with air conditioning.
Ceiling fans do a great
job of circulating
air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow
you to raise the thermostat(恒
温器) and cut
costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so
before you leave; turn off the ceiling
fan.
Let a programmable thermostat! “remember for
you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate
with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce
cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come
home to a comfortable house without wasting
energy and cresting pollution all day while you
are
at work.
Try to make your home
airtight enough to increase your comfort, make
your home quieter and
cleaner and reduce your
cooling costs up to 20 percent.
Gut your air
conditioning load, and reduce pollution by
planting planting leafy trees around
your home
and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.
Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing
windows during the day, or fix shading
equipment to avoid heat build-up.
Turn
off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers.
And use fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯),
which provide
bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds
less energy, producing 70 percent
less heat
and lasting up to 10 times longer than
incandescent bulbs(白炽灯).
Drive the car that
gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you
own more than one vehicle.
If you drive 12,500
miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips
from a car that gets 20 mils per
gallon to one
that gets 30 mpg will save you more than ￡65 per
year.
Carpool. The average U.S.
commuter(乘车上班族) could save about ￡260 a year by
sharing
cars twice a week with two people in a
car that gets 20.1 mpg---assuming the three
passengers
share the cost of gas.
68.
According to the passage, the thermostat is used
to .
A. make rooms quieter
B. control room temperature
C. turn off
the air conditioner D. reduce room air
pollution
69. We can conclude from the passage
that the author probably discourages .
A. planting leafy trees around your home
B. turning off the ceiling fan before you
leave your house
C. keeping your south-facing
windows open during the day
D. using
fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs
70. This passage is mainly about .
A. energy-saving tips B. fuel-saving
tips
C. do-it-yourself tips
D. environment-protecting tips
E
A new
study has found no evidence that sunscreen,
commonly used to reduce the risk of
skin
cancer, actually increase the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based
their findings on a review of 18 earlier
studies that looked at the association between
sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). They said
that they found flaws in studies that had
reported associations between sunscreen use and
higher
risk of melanoma
Most health
experts believe that by
protecting the skin
from the harmful effects
of the sun, sunscreen
helps prevent skin
cancer, which is increasing
in incidence (发
生率) faster than any other
cancer in the
United States.
But
questions has been raised about sunscreen and
whether it may has opposite effect,
perhaps by
allowing people to remain exposed to the sun
longer without burning.
The
researchers said that among the problems with some
earlier studies is that they often
failed to
take into account that those people most at risk
for skin cancer--- people with fair skin
and
freckles (雀斑), for example--- are more likely to
use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear
that
sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The
studies, which generally relied on volunteers to
recall their sunscreen use, were also
unable
to prove how well the products had been applied,
said the new study.
72. The underlined word
“flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means
A. evidence B. facts C. faults
D. failures
73. People with fair skin and
freckles .
A. seldom use sunscreen
B. are more in danger of skin cancer
C. can be
free from the harm of the sun D. often expose
themselves to the sun
74. We can learn from
the passage that .
A. sunscreen users
get skin cancer more often
B. the volunteers
have proved the effect of sunscreen
C. the new
study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D. the number of skin cancer patients is
increasing in America
75. Which of the
following can be the title for this passage?
A. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B.
Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C. Skin
Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D. Skin Cancer
Caused by Freckles

Dear Ken:
I am very
exciting, to learn that you’re coming to
Beijing for the Olympics. Both my parent miss
you a
Lot. So do our friend, Cathy. August
is the best time
Of the year to visit
Beijing, because of there is only
A new
rain and the weather is neither too hot nor too
Cold. There are so many places I want to take
you to
After I finish my work like a
volunteer. When you come,
You can say with
ourselves. My home is about three kilometers
Far Away from the National Stadium, also known
as
The “Bird’s Nest”, where opening
ceremony will be held.
Best
regards,
Janet

第二节：
One possible version
Dear
Sir,
I’m Li Hua from Fujian, When I was
reading the advertisement, the aim of this
activity
impressed me greatly. I think it
instructive to learn to live together by living
together. It
is a good opportunity for the
only child like me to learn to share and work
together.
There I recommend myself to you
without hesitation.
As a boy of 17, I am
outgoing, good at English and have experience of
working well
with children aged from 7 to 12.
I think it is a kind of win-win activity. For one
thing, I
can help take care of the children.
For another thing, I can improve my English, make
more friends, and enrich my life during the
summer vacation.
I am looking forward to
your early reply.
Sincerely yours,
Lihua
