Good morning, everybody. This time I'll read a letter to you.

Dear Bruce：

Christmas is coming soon. The radio station is playing Christmas song. Many families have Christmas trees in their homes already. We are going to buy our tree a few days before Christmas.

At this time of the year, we make or buy presents for our families. I am going to buy a record for my elder brother. He listens to music all the time. I am going to make a toy for my little brother.

Our family is usually together on Christmas Day. My elder brother lives in another town, but he always drives his car here. Last year, however, he didn't come because it was snowing very hard and the roads were too dangerous. We all felt sad.

I hope we are going to be together again this year. My elder brother is going to arrive before Christmas Eve. Then we are going to put up the tree in the living room and put the presents under the tree. We won't open them until Christmas morning.

Do you celebrate Christmas in your country? Write soon.

Yours，

Elizabeth

Have you ever heard of “Survival Holidays”？ It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,000 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing(干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled(控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

24．What is “Survival Holidays” according to the passage?

A. It is summer holidays.

B. It is winter holidays.

C. It is a kind of holidays to escape from danger.

D. It is a holiday to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.

25．Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”？

A. Poor children.

B. Rich children.

C. Children from cities.

D. Children from the countryside.

26．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. The reason people dislike “Survival Holidays”．

B. The advantages of “Survival Holidays”．

C. The disadvantages of “Survival Holidays”．

D. The suggestions of taking part in “Survival Holidays”．

27．In a “Survival Holidays” children can learn the following except ________.

A. how to get good grades

B. how to stay calm in different times

C. how to keep safe when they meet danger

D. how to work in a team

答案：

本文讲述了“生存假期”这一活动，不仅深受大人和孩子的喜爱，而且也使孩子们学到了很多有益的、难忘的生存技能。

24．解析：细节理解题。由文章开头第二句“It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.”可知，生存假期就是孩子们到荒凉的地方做些激动人心的事情，并非寒假或暑假。

答案：D

25．解析：推理判断题。文章第二段说的是：人们喜欢这一活动的原因是他们认为这有好处，并且，对于城里的孩子，这也是重要的改变。所以最可能积极参加的是城里的孩子，不是农村的，也并非有钱或没钱的。

答案：C

26．解析：主旨大意题。通读最后一段，通过参加这一活动，多年后孩子们仍然会记得他们所学会的，“沉着面对危险、如何保证安全、如何协同工作”，这些显然都是活动的有利方面。

答案：B

27．解析：细节理解题。由文章最后一段可得出即选项B.如何在不同情况下沉着面对危险；C.他们如何在遇到危险时保证安全；D.如何协同工作。所以选择答案A。

答案：A

C

At age four and a half，Joshua M．can speak three languages；he can read and write and do simple math；he can hum Beethoven's Fifth.

Since he was only old enough to sit up，Josh's parents have been enrolling him in enrichment classes—everything from French to music and movement.“Our intention was not to create a baby genius，”insists his mom，Sheila.“We just wanted him to be encouraged，to have access to all sorts of things.”

Many parents feel this way：Why not give your child every opportunity to excel in school，to get ahead of the learning games before kindergarten even starts？As soon as some kids were born，these moms and dads sign them up for classes that emphasize much more than singing Twinkle，Twinkle，Little Star.

But experts warn that parents shouldn't go over board on early educating.“If we want kids to learn and develop their minds，we should talk with them and play with them and encourage them to play and explore on their own.This is how they learn best，”says child psychologists Paul J．Donahue.“Parents can run into trouble if they start to think their kids are empty bottles that need to be filled up.They can also set a dangerous example if the children feel pressure to show benefits from the instruction they have received and begin to worry about disappointing their parents.”

What's more，if too much emphasis is placed on enrichment，children are at risk of developing anxiety，depression，and sleeping problems.In the end，all work and no play is no good.

“It is important to combine play and to let children be children.Allow time for them to be creative，to get dirty，to play outdoors，etc.，”Donahue says.“There's no harm in combining learning skills into early childhood education.As with everything，the key is balance.”

28．Many parents make their children receive an early education to________.

A．expect them to become a genius

B．learn songs like Twinkle，Twinkle，Little Star

C．encourage them to learn various knowledge

D．prepare them to be more excellent than others

29．“Them”in the third paragraph refers to________.

A．dads B．kids

C．moms D．experts

30．Some experts against the early educating because________.

A．children may forget their learning in childhood when growing up

B．parents may be disappointed at the result of the early educating

C．too much pressure may make children suffer from mental diseases

D．children may have trouble in learning on their own in the future

31．The best title for the passage is________.

A．the trouble of all work and no play

B．the way of making children learn best

C．the importance of playing in early childhood education

D．the danger of turning children into little Einstein

家长过早地让孩子们参加各种学习班，希望他们早早地成才。父母让孩子们早早地接受教育的目的是让他们有一个比别人更高的起点，但是给孩子们过多的压力会使他们产生一些精神方面的疾病。

28．解析：细节理解题。由第三段的to get ahead of the learning game before kindergarten even starts知道，父母让孩子们早早地接受教育的目的是想让他们有一个比别人更高的起点。

答案：D

29．解析：词义猜测题。结合语境，指父母给他们的孩子报名参加各种学习班。

答案：B

30．解析：细节理解题。从倒数第二段的信息知道，给孩子们过多的压力会使他们产生一些精神方面的疾病，所以C为最佳答案。

答案：C

31．解析：标题归纳题。本文主要说的是作者认为家长过早地让孩子们参加各种学习班，希望他们早早地成才所带来的危害，所以D反映了主题。

答案：D

D

One afternoon，Coyote went hunting.Suddenly，a large frog landed in front of him.Coyote attacked and pinned Frog to the ground.Frog thought quickly and came up with a plan.“Brother Coyote，”he called.“You must not eat me today！”

Coyote laughed loudly，“Why_shouldn't_I_help_myself_to_such_a_tasty_morsel？”

“Why，I have a bet to make with you，”Frog stated.“Tomorrow there is to be a race.”Coyote's ears twitched.“A race？”

“Yes，”Frog continued.“You and I will race.If you win，then you may eat me.”

Coyote agreed.Frog hurried to the lake.

In the morning，the animals gathered to watch as Coyote and Frog agreed on the course they would run.They were to start at the large stone and circle all the way around the lake.The first one back to the stone would be the winner.When the sun reached the noonday mark，they were off.Coyote sprinted(快跑) as quickly as he could.Frog bounded into the grass and waited.Coyote looked behind him.Seeing no sign of Frog，Coyote was sure he would win.As Coyote was beginning to tire，Frog's look­alike buddy(密友) jumped onto the course from behind an alder tree ahead.Coyote was surprised to see what he thought was Frog，and ran even faster，determined to win.Coyote dashed past him and called，“You may be fast，but I'm faster.I'll wait at the finish line to eat you up，Frog！”

When Coyote came in sight of the finish line，Frog had emerged from his hiding place and easily hopped across the line.“You may be fast，Coyote，but I've managed to beat you！”Frog joyfully called out.Silently，he added，“With the help of my friends.”

Coyote went home puzzled and hungry again.

答案：

一次，猎狗逮住了一只青蛙，正准备吃它的时候，青蛙提议它们比赛赛跑，如果猎狗胜了，才可以吃它，在赛跑中，青蛙利用计谋打败了猎狗。

32．解析：细节理解题。结合前面的tasty知道，是美味可口的，所以选A。

答案：A

33．解析：推理判断题。从猎狗在比赛中的行为和结果知道，它是很愚蠢的，被聪明的青蛙欺骗了，失去了获得食物的机会。

答案：B

34．解析：细节理解题。从第一段的You must not eat me today知道，青蛙遇到了危险，所以选B。

答案：B

35．解析：推理判断题。通过青蛙和猎狗的故事，我们知道青蛙利用计谋战胜了强大的猎狗，所以聪明比力气更加重要。

答案：D

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。

__36__ But Yan Kai, 14, loves old songs, some of which may be 100 years old.

Yan is a Senior 1 student at Beijing International Art School. __37__ It is an old Chinese folk art. He began learning Taiping Geci two years ago. “I feel very good when I sing，” he said. “Taiping Geci has beautiful melodies(旋律) and lyrics(歌词)．”

Taiping Geci started in Beijing during the Qing dynasty. __38__ Singers use a pair of bamboo pieces to make music.

Yan Kai was born in Tianjin. His parents are folk art lovers. He first saw a folk art show when he was a kid. At the age of 11, he began to study Taiping Geci with an old folk art actor. Every morning when he gets up, he begins shouting. He does exercise like somersaults(筋斗)．“Sometimes it is difficult and boring，” he said. “But I know I have to go on.” __39__ Now not many people know about it.

Yan hopes to be a great singer and let more teenagers know about this old art. “Many pop singers don't sing clearly. __40__ But I enjoy singing Taiping Geci.” said Yan.

A．Sometimes I can't even understand what they are singing.

B．Many teenagers often play the guitars together.

C．It tells stories of many kinds, such as wars and great people from old dynasties.

D．Taiping Geci is only popular in Beijing.

E．Most teens like to sing pop songs.

F．He is mad about Taiping Geci.

G．Taiping Geci is quite difficult for most people to learn.

答案：

太平歌词是一种从属于相声艺术的曲艺形式。高中生Yan Kai对太平歌词很痴迷。

36．解析：后一句“But Yan Kai,14，loves old songs”中的“But”一词给出了暗示，表明Yan Kai与普通少年不一样。

答案：E

37．解析：后一句“It is an old Chinese folk art.”中的“It”指代的是“Taiping Geci”，而本段第一句介绍的是Yan Kai的情况，故此空应该是一个由Yan Kai过渡到Taiping Geci的句子，所以答案为F。

答案：F

38．解析：本段主要介绍了Taiping Geci的起源，演唱内容以及演唱的伴奏音乐。前一句“Taiping Geci started in Beijing during the Qing dynasty.”讲述的是Taiping Geci的起源，后一句讲的是歌手是如何演奏音乐的，所以选C。

答案：C

39．解析：根据后一句“Now not many people know about it.”可知，空格线处应该提及现在很少人了解太平歌词的原因。

答案：D

40．解析：根据后一句“But I enjoy singing Taiping Geci.”及前一句“Many pop singers don't sing clearly.”可知答案为A。

答案：A
