第一节、完形填空 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes, The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
I observed a number of children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.
Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an 15 child.

第三节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A 、B 、C 和D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Ａ
His pictures are not a bit simple — pictures of trains, trucks and helicopters — and they are as professional as any from a book or a magazine. Crowds gather to watch Donald at work. But unlike other kids who draw, Donald refuses to give out any personal information. He avoids the fear he experienced when he escaped from his flooded home. It’s only when he learns that Ashley has a computer that he puts down his pencil and says, “Would you help me look for my mom? Her n ame is Troy Expose.” He tells Ashley his mother’s date of birth.
Ashley says yes, but it’s a promise which will probably result in heartbreak. Before Katrina’s Kids Project began, Ashley spent days volunteering in the computer room, searching for information about people lost during the storm. Most were never found. Donald, she will soon learn, lived just a few blocks from where the levee（防洪堤）broke.
That night, as Ashley walks to her front door, she can see her husband, Steven, waiting there. Nothing is said, but she can see that Steven is worried. She hurries to put their five-year-old daughter into bed.
The moment they have a moment together, she tells him about Donald. “You look exhausted,” Steven says. His tone is part pity, part anger. Ashley is in pain. It’s obvious from the
way she’s holding herself. He reminds her that doctors have repeatedly warned her to slow down. Being a mom and looking after herself are the only things she needs to do now. Then, convinced that he’s given a persuasive argument, Steven turns and holds out a hand, “Come to bed.”
But Ashley can’t rest. She’s made a promise she has to keep. She switches on the computer and begins her search on the missing-person websites, knowing she can kiss sleep goodbye.
26. In what way is Donald different from other children who draw pictures?
A. He can concentrate on drawing for a long time.
B. He shows a great gift for drawing.
C. The fear he experienced is not seen in his pictures.
D. He doesn’t show any feelings in his pictures.

A. would soon be found alive
B. had little chance of surviving the flood
C. shouldn’t have deserted Donald
D. wouldn’t allow Donald to live with her
28. From the passage, we can learn that Steven ______.
A. doesn’t like Ashley to help others
B. thinks that Ashley doesn’t give their daughter enough care
C. doesn’t like strangers living in their home
D. doesn’t want Ashley to destroy her own health in helping others
29. Why does Ashley put her daughter into bed quickly?
A. She is anxious to have a good rest.
B. She wants to spend time with her husband.
C. She is anxious to tell her husband about Donald.
D. She doesn’t like being disturbed by her daughter.
Ｂ
Being the youngest child has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, babies are spoiled and often get away with behavior that other family members can’t. On the other hand, many youngest children feel that they never quite measure up to their more experienced and successful siblings (兄弟姐妹). To borrow a phrase from a famous comedian, they get no respect.
Some parents look on their youngest child as their last chance to do everything right, so the youngest may feel great performance pressure, similar to a firstborn. Other parents will never allow their last child to be unhappy, ever. In most families, however, the parents have more experience and are more likely to give them more freedom on such issues as developmental milestones, toilet training, dating, and so on. They are more confident that things will work out for the best, and their relationship with their lastborn is less intense than that with the older children. Having some distance in their relationship with their parents can give the lastborn freedom to explore new ideas and new places, but if it is too great, the youngest children may feel disconnected, as though they don’t belong to the family.
Since lastborns are seldom the strongest or most capable during childhood, they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming. Within the family, they know how to get along well with their siblings. They may become peacekeepers, but they’re also able to cause much trouble when it serves their purposes. Playing the “baby card” also allows them to avoid pu nishment for wrongdoing, for example, breaking a sibling’s toy.
Only with such a full understanding can you, as a parent, help your “baby” develop into a fully grown-up person.
30. What may dissatisfy the youngest child in the family?
A. Being given too much pressure by the parents.
B. Being looked down upon by the other family members.
C. Not getting along well with their siblings.
D. Feeling that they fail to do as well as their siblings.
31. In most families, the youngest child _______.
A. is expected to realize their parents’ unfinished dreams
B. lives a life of less pressure from their parents
C. is often ignored and forgotten by their parents
D. doesn’t like to get close to his / her parents
32. Which of the following characteristics may NOT appear in the lastborn during their childhood?
A. Strong-minded.
C. Sociable. B. Attractive. D. Troublesome.
33. By talking about the characteristics of the youngest child, this passage ______.
A. gives parents some help in bringing up the youngest child
B. reminds parents to give the youngest child extra care
C. shows it is hard for the youngest child to succeed
D. calls on parents to treat the youngest child fairly
Ｃ
As digital technology increasingly controls the lives of young people, scientists have begun to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?
“It’s impossible to answer that question because the Internet is so many things,” says psychologist Patricia Greenfield. “It’s networked computer games and news about politics and instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother. It can be both an educational resource and a hiding place for kidnappers.”
Adults have many reasons to worry about kids’ Internet use. In chat rooms, for instance, it is easy to lie and kids can get trapped in dangerous situations. In searching for and visiting websites, kids can come across words and pictures that they may not be prepared for. To help prevent that situation, in 2000, the US Congress passed the Children’s Internet Protection Act, which requires schools to block offensive and obscene（淫秽的）websites.
Researches have pointed out how confusing the Internet can be for children, even when they think they know how it works. To find out how much kids know about the technology, Zheng Yan, an educational professor in New York, interviews over 300 students in grades four to eight. Most of the youngest students think the Internet is simply an icon (图标) on the screen. It often isn’t until 10 that kids realize that the Internet is a network of millions of computers. It takes another 2 or 3 years for them to understand that a stranger can see what they’ve posted.
Understanding the technology helps kids understand how dangerous the web can be. It’s not simply enough to block harmful websites or to limit the number of hours kids spend online. Learning about the Internet can also give young people the power to use it in beneficial ways.
34. By saying “the Internet is so many things”, Patricia Greenfield means that ______.
A. computer technology is hard for people to master
B. computers have more disadvantages than expected
C. computers have more advantages than expected
D. computers bring advantages as well as disadvantages
35. According to the Children’s Internet Protection Act passed in 2000, ______.
A. children are not allowed to go online at schools
B. schools must watch students’ behavior all the time
C. children must be prevented from having access to unhealthy websites
D. it is against the law to search for unhealthy information online
36. In the mind of very young children, the Internet is ______.
A. harmful B. simple
C. a complicated network D. a news source
37. What might be talked about in the following paragraph？
A. How to protect children against the danger of the Internet.
B. How to use the Internet for beneficial purposes.
C. What the public think of the Children’s Internet Protection Act.
D. How the Children’s Internet Protection Act was passed.
Ｄ
In Germany, English expressions are used in conversations and increasingly in written form. Advertisements are often expressed completely in English. When I go to the gym, there are “aerobic-classes (增氧健身法课程) ”. We “warm up”. We go “jogging. ” In business, we attend a “meeting” and we have “good connections.”
Other nations, like France, have taken action to protect their language from the influence of “Americanization ”. In Germany, however, there is concern that those rules could be connected with Hitler’s Third Reich (帝国), when the language had to be pure. If the government curbed the use of English words now, this could be considered by some as a return to that terrible past.
Some German citizens are now trying to stop the use of English vocabulary in German. However, I think generally it is not a big deal to use some common English expressions as they often describe things more directly. But we should know that it is important to use English correctly. All too often, bad English is spoken or even written instead of good German. The proper use of the German language would be the better choice. However, there are some fields that require the use of English words, for example, in the high-tech communication and the Internet fields, there is no alternative to English. Also, I think sometimes I have to speak English when I introduce some scenic places to tourists.
I think you have to find a balance and decide when it is better to use good German in place of bad English or when the use of correct English words is more suitable. Languages have always changed naturally, and I disagree with a restriction by law. Some nice expressions borrowed from other languages can make a conversation more vivid.
38. By giving many examples in the first paragraph, the writer shows that _____.
A. most Germans have no difficulty in understanding English
B. English is more and more widely used in Germany
C. it is more convenient to use English in some situations
D. English has completely replaced German in Germany
39. From the passage, we can learn that when Hitler was in power, ______ in Germany.
A. all languages except English could be used
B. only some foreign languages could be used
C. only the upper class could speak English
D. only the German language could be used
40. What job does the writer probably do?
A. A travel guide. B. A lawyer.
C. A computer engineer. D. A teacher.
41. What is the writer’s attitude towards the use of English in Germany?
A. There should be a law to protect the dominance of German.
B. It is foolish for Germans to worry about their native language.
C. Germans should be encouraged to speak more English.
D. Proper use of English can make conversations more colorful.
Ｅ
One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces.
A young couple viewing the painting ahead of me chattered nonstop between themselves. I watched them for a moment and decided it was the woman who was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant gush of words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man took a long cane and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He is a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would have given up if we went blind at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said. “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to alter his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away with their arms intertwined.
42. Which of the following shows the wife’s patience?
a. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words.
b. Each time I heard her constant gush of words, I moved away quickly.
c. The young man made a promise that his life wouldn’t change.
d. His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.
A. c B. cd C. bd D. abd
43. How does the writer feel about the wife in the first three paragraphs?
A. The writer admires her patience.
B. The writer hates her patience.
C. The writer enjoys hearing her constant gush of words.
D. The writer hates hearing her constant gush of words.
44. According to the last paragraph, what did the writer see that day?
A. The young man’s patience, courage and love for the wife.
B. The wife’s patience, courage and love for the young man.
C. The wife’s patience, the young man’s courage and their love for each other.
D. The young man’s patience, the wife’s courage and their love for each other.
45. We can conclude from the passage that __________.
A. the physical disability changed the young man, but the wife tries to help him out of his pain with her patience and love
B. the physical disability couldn’t change the young man’s life, and his wife helps him out with her care and love
C. the physical disability couldn’t change the young man’s life, and his wife helps him out with her patience and love
D. the physical disability changed the young man’s belief in life, but the wife helps him out with her patience and love

Dear editor,
I ’m writing to tell you about the discussion we ’ve recently had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us, about 70%, think we should know tour parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
Another 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
Y ours,
Li Ming

In Germany, English expressions are used in conversations and increasingly in written form. Advertisements are often expressed completely in English. When I go to the gym, there are “aerobic-classes (增氧健身法课程) ”. We “warm up”. We go “jogging. ” In business, we attend a “meeting” and we have “good connections.”
Other nations, like France, have taken action to protect their language from the influence of “Americanization ”. In Germany, however, there is concern that those rules could be connected with Hitler’s Third Reich (帝国), when the language had to be pure. If the government curbed the use of English words now, this could be considered by some as a return to that terrible past.
Some German citizens are now trying to stop the use of English vocabulary in German. However, I think generally it is not a big deal to use some common English expressions as they often describe things more directly. But we should know that it is important to use English correctly. All too often, bad English is spoken or even written instead of good German. The proper use of the German language would be the better choice. However, there are some fields that require the use of English words, for example, in the high-tech communication and the Internet fields, there is no alternative to English. Also, I think sometimes I have to speak English when I introduce some scenic places to tourists.
I think you have to find a balance and decide when it is better to use good German in place of bad English or when the use of correct English words is more suitable. Languages have always changed naturally, and I disagree with a restriction by law. Some nice expressions borrowed from other languages can make a conversation more vivid.
38. By giving many examples in the first paragraph, the writer shows that _____.
A. most Germans have no difficulty in understanding English
B. English is more and more widely used in Germany
C. it is more convenient to use English in some situations
D. English has completely replaced German in Germany

40. What job does the writer probably do?
A. A travel guide. B. A lawyer.
C. A computer engineer. D. A teacher.

B. It is foolish for Germans to worry about their native language.
C. Germans should be encouraged to speak more English.
D. Proper use of English can make conversations more colorful.

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces.
A young couple viewing the painting ahead of me chattered nonstop between themselves. I watched them for a moment and decided it was the woman who was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.
I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant gush of words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man took a long cane and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He is a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would have given up if we went blind at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said. “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to alter his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away with their arms intertwined.
42. Which of the following shows the wife’s patience?
a. I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words.

44. According to the last paragraph, what did the writer see that day?

B. The wife’s patience, courage and love for the young man.
C. The wife’s patience, the young man’s courage and their love for each other.

Dear editor,
I ’m writing to tell you about the discussion we ’ve recently had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us, about 70%, think we should know tour parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
Another 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
Y ours,
Li Ming
