Crazy things that parents say to their kids

Do you remember things that your mum and dad said again and again when you were a kid?

Oh of course! My little brother and me, we loved TV and we sat and watched it for hours every

A day in the life

Well, finally something is happening, Kim thought. So far, it had been the most

boring summer ever. Suddenly, loud beeps (哔哔声), warning that a truck is backing up,

broke the afternoon silence. Kim walked over to the bushes (灌木) that separated her house

from the one next door.

"I hope the new neighbours are cool," she thought as she looked at the stacks of boxes

outside the truck. Let's see. Lots of boxes! That one says, "Kitchen stuff" and that one says,

"Jane's stuff". Wow, what a huge TV! Oh, a piano. Hmm. I wonder who Jane is. And look at

that, a water bowl with the name Cupcake on it.

Maybe they have a cat, thought Kim. She stepped around the bushes to get a better look.

"Here, Cupcake. Come here, girl!" she called. She poured some of her water into the bowl and

called again. "Here, Cupcake. Come on out, girl."

Kim heard something move. A large dog crawled (爬) out from under the truck and

then stood up and shook itself. "Well, look at you," Kim said. "You are not a little girl, are you?

But you look so sweet! Are you thirsty? Here, have some water."

It was after the dog had finished the water and was happily licking (舔) Kim's hand

that she looked up.

"I see you've met Cupcake," said a girl she had never met before. "I'm Jane."

They had hardly started talking when Kim heard her mum shouting, "Be careful with

the dog, Kim. Get over here right now."

"Mum," Kim said. "Relax. She's so friendly and sweet. Her name is Cupcake!"

"I don't care what its name is. Come home now!"

Kim looked at Jane, and then looked down her feet, not sure of what to say next.

"Go ahead," Jane said. "We can talk later. And maybe you can show me how to get to

school."

"Sure, Jane. I'd like that. And maybe we can take Cupcake for a walk."

Well, Kim thought as she returned home. Maybe the rest of the summer won't be

boring after all.

16.(8分)In April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel in space. On July 20, 1969,

Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Some people believe the next step is

for humans to visit Mars. There's no doubt that the first person to walk on Mars will become as

famous as Gagarin or Armstrong, and many astronauts would love the opportunity. But what is

space travel really like for the astronauts?

Many astronauts suffer (承受) physical problems, even if they are in space for just a few

months. Some of these problems are short﹣lived; others may be long﹣lasting. More than two

﹣thirds of all astronauts suffer from motion sickness while traveling in space. In space, the body

cannot tell up from down. The body sends confusing signals to the brain, which can result in

feeling sick for a few days. The amount of blood and water in the body also ends up being sent

differently. More blood and water end up in the face, neck, and chest, resulting in a puffy (肿

胀的) face and an enlarged heart.

For the duration of their task, astronauts experience conditions that influence their health.

For example, their bones get weaker. Being in a weightless environment means that astronauts

do not use the muscles (肌肉), so their muscles gradually get weaker. This, along with the

6

change of blood to the upper body and the resulting loss of important minerals (矿物质),

causes bones to weaken. As a result, many astronauts are unable to walk properly for a few days

upon their return to Earth. In addition, they are exposed to radiation (辐射) from the sun.

This puts them at a higher risk of serious illness.

In addition to physical difficulties, astronauts who travel for long periods may also suffer

from psychological stress. Long journeys require astronauts to spend more time inside a spaceship.

For example, a round﹣trip journey to Mars could take about three years. Being confined in a

small space for such a long period of time is not healthy.

Astronauts ﹣ especially those who achieved important "firsts" such as Gagarin and

Armstrong ﹣ are often seen as exciting adventurers. This may be right, but it's also worth

remembering the efforts they make to explore our universe.

(1)According to Paragraph 2, what physical problem do astronauts suffer?

A. Their hearts send weakened signals to their bodies.

B. They may feel sick because of confusing signals.

C. They may live shorter after travelling in space.

D. Their brains often get less blood and water.

(2)What can cause astronauts' bones to weaken?

A. Less proper walks upon their return to Earth.

B. More radiation from the sun hurting the bones.

C. Weaker muscles and loss of important minerals.

D. Puffy faces, necks and enlarged hearts and brains.

(3)The word "confined" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ".

A. kept

B. trained

C. allowed

D. served

(4)What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to be the first ones to visit Mars.

7

B. To question whether humans are able to go to Mars soon.

C. To discuss what is the best health care for astronauts in space.

D. To remind us of the price astronauts pay for exploring universe.

17.(6分)It is easy to forget that public education is relatively new. Even in the U.S., which has a

relatively developed education system, public schools only became common in the early 19

th

century. Before that, while the rich were able to get private teachers for their children, most

education of children took place within the family and the community. Some people are now

going back to teaching children themselves.

At one time, homeschooling was for students who had behavioral or learning difficulties.

Today, there are many arguments for educating one's children at home. Some of it starts from

dissatisfaction with the normal education system. In many schools, one teacher is responsible for

30 or 40 students; children are often deprived (剥夺) of the attention they need.

Many psychologists (心理学家) see the home as the most natural learning environment,

since it is supportive. Parents who homeschool say they can keep an eye on their children's

education more closely. Children can also choose what and when to study, so they can learn

according to their own timetable. The many educational resources on the Internet can also be used.

Supporters of homeschooling point out that homeschooled children do just as well as or better

than those who are classroom﹣taught.

However, critics of homeschooling say that children miss out on learning important social

skills because they have little interaction with their peers (同龄人). This might have a bad effect

on them later in life when they go to university or start work. Critics have also raised concerns

about whether parents are able to educate their children properly. Many of these parents are short

of teacher training and may not be up﹣to﹣date on all the subjects taught in schools.

In the U.S., with an increasing number of parents taking their children out of class, schools

are looking for ways to restore parents' confidence in the public education system. Some American

high schools have opened their doors to homeschoolers on a part﹣time basis, allowing these

children to attend classes once or twice a week, or to take part in activities such as playing

football or dancing. This enables homeschooled children to enjoy the extra benefits of peer

interaction and involvement in sport or clubs.

8

Whatever the arguments for or against, homeschooling is growing in some countries. There

are now websites and support groups that enable parents to learn more about educating their

children. Homeschooling is now taken as an accepted choice to the public education system.

(1)According to the passage, what can we learn about homeschooling?

A .Homeschooled children have fewer learning difficulties.

B. Homeschooling offers enough teacher training to parents.

C. Homeschooled children are better prepared for university.

D. Homeschooling has a longer history than public education.

(2)What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. Parents' confidence in the public education system is restored.

B. Homeschooled children should get involved in sports and clubs.

C. Schools are trying to change since homeschoolers are increasing.

D. Homeschooled children are required to have some classes in schools.

(3)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The benefits of homeschooling

B. The development of homeschooling

C. Homeschooling: The power of love?

D. Homeschooling: A better way to learn?

18.(10分)Sylvia Earle is one of the world's most famous ocean (海洋) scientists . She loves to

go diving (潜水) in the ocean. She has spent a lot of her life both in and under the waves. Earle

has led more than a hundred explorations and she set a record for diving in 1,000﹣meter﹣deep

water on her own. In total, she has spent more than 7,000 hours underwater.

Earle describes the first time she went to the ocean: "I was three years old and I got

knocked over by a wave (波浪). The ocean certainly got my attention! It was exciting. And since

then, I have been attracted by life in the ocean."

Now, Earle's job is to focus on developing a worldwide network of areas on the land and in

the ocean. This network will protect and support the living systems that are important to the
