Ａ
Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For Success in training children，the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as really one's equal，that is，to show him the same consideration，the same kind of confidence one shows to an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become，but to be affected by the impression of what the child himself is；not to treat the child with cheating，or by force，but with the seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents do not see that during the whole life，the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood，an inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience？Corrections，orders，interference(干涉)，the whole livelong day.The child is always required to leave something alone，or to do something different，to find something different，or want something different from what he does，or finds，or wants.He is always guided in another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our so－called enthusiasm in directing，advising，and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line(流水线)．Understanding，the deepest characteristic of love，is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand；it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember that the child，even at four or five years of age，has already had a sharp feeling！The smallest mistrust and unkindness，the least act of injustice，leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While，on the other hand，unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
21．The passage mainly talks about ________．
A．misleading zones and right ways in educating children

D．the importance of educating children
22．Children，according to the passage，are experiencing ________．
A．corrections，orders and peace

A．You could treat your children not so seriously for they don't understand many things.
B．You could train your children as you wish them to be since you are parents.
C．You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.

People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars.And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987.I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway.Then I noticed how stars would fool me for months.I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting，and some acted just simply rudely.I started hating the way I was treated，and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped(崇拜)before were pretty ordinary.So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(不真实的事)．If the star was a bad guy，I would say so.If I thought someone was stupid，I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty.Surprisingly，many of them hated me for it.I have gotten so many attacks on my character.In their eyes，being famous is everything，even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.
Why do we need stars？In fact，the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip(闲谈)．Over time，talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about.Thus，some people are more interested in the personal lives of stars than in the lives of their own family and friends.That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview as we care.We want the dirt in their personal lives.
There is another reason why we worship stars.As a whole，our society is not as religious as it once was.It seems that people need something to fulfill them in the way religion once did.Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars，but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant，and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die.I am part of this whole process.No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workdays.
25．What are stars like according to the author?
A．They always treat others rudely.
B．They always talk about something dull.
C．They are actually ordinary people.
D．They are usually honest and polite.
26．We worship stars because ________．
A．we need true mental heroes to support us
B．we can learn something useful from them
C．we concern about their family and friends
D．we like talking about their dressing styles
27．When the author is writing this article，his tone sounds ________．
A．excited B．angry C．worried D．calm
28．What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A．To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
B．To remind us not to worship stars blindly.
C．To laugh at the stars he has interviewed.
D．To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
C
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country，you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week，how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on.These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like.No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures.Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities.In lectures, it's very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks.Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures.So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks；you have to attend lectures as well.In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take.The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework.In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments.This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non­science majors do.On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
29．The main purpose of this passage is to________．
A．persuade the students to attend lectures
B．encourage the students to take part in discussions
C．advise the students to choose proper majors
D．help the students to learn about university life
30．We can learn from the passage that university professors________．
A．spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B．must join the students in the discussion sections
C．require the students to read beyond the textbooks
D．prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
31．A discussion section does NOT include________．
A．talking over what the students have read about the courses
B．working under the guidance of university professors
C．discussing the problems related to the students' homework
D．raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
32．According to the author, science majors________．
A．read and write less than non­science majors
B．have to work harder than non­science majors
C．spend less time on their studies than non­science majors
D．consider experiments more important than discussions

　 I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
　　 Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.
　　 Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
　　 Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!
　　 Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.
33. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a tone.
A. sad　　　　　B. confused
C. serious　　　　D. humorous
34. We may know from the passage that ______.
A. people in England like pigs more than other animals
B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine
C. pigs are the first animals raised by man
D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now
35. The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.
A. What you have just said is impossible
B. Pigs are great animals
C. I don’t understand your words
D. I can’t agree with you more

36　One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
　　The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. What are you interested in? Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, or making things? 　37　
　　Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
　　　39　You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
　　At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
　　Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you will spend a lot of time making them. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? 　40　
　　So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

A. That’s easy.
　　B. The list is endless.
　　C. Enjoy your own club!
　　D. Invite a designer to join you.
　　E. Winter vacation is just around the corner.
　　F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
　　G. That will make the membership card really look like it.
