9."Beating is a sign of affection,cursing (罵)is a sign of love."
Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times-with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been-but experts say they still ring true.
Today,it seems,Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.
"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges,especially our boys,"said Song Wenming,an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家)in Jinhua,East China's Zhejiang province."They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."
In August,Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania.And he is far from alone,even though it takes a lot of money-around $48,000per year-to send a child to a strict military school.
Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.
A few years ago,there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge.Today,there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families,some of them were spoiled,"said Jennifer Myers,director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son,Song Siyu,had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school.The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.
Now,three months later,he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35seconds,finishing a meal without looking at his food,and making his bed with precision.He can even take criticism,no matter how unreasonable.
"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals,"said Song Siyu.'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character,they are not personal."
But his enthusiasm is not universal.Ten of the 13Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.
But for those who stick with it,there is a reward for all the hard work.

51.From the second paragraph,we can know the old Chinese sayingC.
A.is out of date in modern times.
B.is disagreed by rich parents.
C.is still worth trusting                 
D.is deeply believed by better educated parent.
52.The underlined sentence means thatC
A.Song sent his only son to military school,so he feels lonely.
B.Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.
C.There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.
D.The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.
53.Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school exceptB.
A.taking a bath in a short time
B.having his meal with his eyes closed
C.taking unreasonable criticism 
D.improving his character.
54.How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?D
A.10        B.13      C.15        D.25
55.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.
A.It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.
B.Most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.
C.Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.
D.Most Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.

分析 本文講述了越來越多的中國家長把孩子送到VFMA來接受軍事化的管理以提高孩子的各方面的素質(zhì),反應(yīng)了家庭教育觀念的變化.

解答 51-55 CCBDA
51  C 推理題.根據(jù)第二段Today,it seems,Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.說明打是親,罵是愛著句話在現(xiàn)在仍然是有一部分道理的.現(xiàn)在的父母對孩子要求很嚴格,這也是一種愛的表現(xiàn).故C正確.

52  C 推理題.根據(jù)第五段第一行A few years ago,there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge.Today,there are 28.說明另外還有很多中國的學(xué)生來到這個地方,所以And he is far from alone,這句話是指還有別的學(xué)生送他們的孩子來到這個學(xué)校,故C正確.
53  B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)3,4段Now,three months later,he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds,finishing a meal without looking at his food,and making his bed with precision.He can even take criticism,no matter how unreasonable.和"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals,說明ACD三項都是他做到的事情.B項的內(nèi)容與文章不符,文章只是說不看食物,沒有說閉著眼睛.故B符合文章要求.
54  D 計算題.根據(jù)A few years ago,there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge.Today,there are 28.Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.現(xiàn)在有28人,這里有3個人是今年剩下的,因為今年原來的13人中有10人走了,故說明原來只有25人.故D正確.
55   A 推理題.根據(jù)文章第五段Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.說明越來越多的中國家庭要送孩子來這里,故A正確.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

20.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.Indeed,research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns."People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,"says Dr.Frederic Luskin,who wrote the book Forgive for Good"So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic."
So when someone has hurt you,calm yourself first.Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,someone you love.Don't wait for an apology."Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,"says Dr.Luskin."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting a very long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain.Instead,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.Finally,try to see things from the other person's perspective(視角).You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear-even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view,

65.The text is mainly written to explainD.
A.how to keep yourself from being hurt
B.how to stay mentally healthy
C.how and when to remain calm
D.why and how to pardon others
66.According to the writer,what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?D
A.Try to figure out why you get hurt.
B.Write a letter to the person who hurt you.
C.Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.
D.Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.
67.Dr.Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt becauseC.
A.we are not patient enough    
B.we'd feel worse accepting others'apology
C.people never want to apologize
D.people don't mean it when they apologize.

17.What's black and orange and growing for the first time in decades?India's tiger population!On Monday,officials announced the results of the latest tiger count.The census(統(tǒng)計) totaled 1,706tigers in forests across the Asian country-about 300more than four years ago."These numbers give us hope for the future of tigers in the world,"said Jim Leape,international director of the World Wildlife Fund.
A century ago,about 100,000tigers lived in India's forests.But by 2002,a count showed that there were only 3,600left.The number dropped to 1,411in 2007.What caused India's tiger population to shrink so dramatically?
More than anything else,experts say,development has taken a toll.People have moved into tiger territory and destroyed much of the animal's habitat.Today,tigers live on a just small part of the land they occupied 100years ago.
Illegal hunting has also contributed to the decline.Poachers(盜獵者) can demand high fees for tiger parts,which are a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.The parts from one tiger can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
India's news is a step in the right direction.But while the number of tigers has increased there in the last four years,the animals'habitat has shrunk.Roads and construction projects have blocked off many tiger corridors-routes used by the big cats to go from one forest to another."Securing these corridors should be taken up as a priority,"says Rajesh Gopal,of the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
Last November,leaders from the 13countries that are home to wild tigers met in St.Petersburg,Russia,to develop a plan to help the endangered cats.They set a goal to double the world's tiger population by the year 2022.Will we reach that goal?With India's tiger population on the rise and conservationists around the world focused on helping the big cats,it seems it just might happen.

63.The underlined word"shrink"in Paragraph 2most probably meansB.
A.develop    B.reduce   C.disappear    D.remove
64.Which is one of the reasons why India's tiger population declines?A
A.Some living areas of India's tigers are destroyed by humans.
B.Roads and construction projects have bridged tiger corridors.
C.Some India's tigers have been hunted for to attract visitors.
D.Too many tigers are used in making traditional Chinese medicine.
65.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.1,411India's tigers were killed between 2002and 2007
B.Rajesh Gopal is in charge of the World Wildlife Fund
C.the world's tiger population will surely be doubled by 2022
D.international efforts are being made to protect India's tigers
66.What is the author's attitude towards the future of India's tigers?C
A.Critical    B.Objective    C.Optimistic    D.Concerned.

4.Anchors on China Central Television (CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms(首字母縮略詞) they're now banned from using.Shanghai Daily reports that"anchors at China Central Television[CCTV]have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA,CBA,GDP,and the like in their programs."
The replacement for those handy acronyms?Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name,standardized by the State Administration of Radio,F(xiàn)ilm and Television.
Although CCTV (oops,we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral Mandarin proficiency exam,saying the full name of organizations like the CBA or WTO-10 and 6 character's long separately-is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors.CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily,"A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips.It is a little trouble but a necessary one because not every audience member can understand the initials."
Although the government isn't giving any official explanation for the shift,it is believed to have to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi,director of the China International Publishing Group,at March's NPC meeting.In his speech,Huang said,"With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English,measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese.If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English,Chinese won't be a pure language in a couple of years."
Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages (the French and Québécois beat them to it by a long way),acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting a language,we would think.Good luck to the CCTV anchors.
56.CCTV anchors have to"do some fast talking"because they can no longerB.
A.speak as slowly as they like                           
B.mix English into Chinese
C.use shortened Chinese expressions            
D.have so much time for their program
57.According the writer,"CBA"is supposed to be replaced with"A"by CCTV anchors.
A.中國男子籃球甲級聯(lián)賽                              
B.中國籃球協(xié)會全國男女籃球職業(yè)聯(lián)賽
C.中國籃球聯(lián)賽                                                 
D.The Chinese Basketball Association
58.When Sun Zhengping said"if my tongue slips",he meant"if IA".
A.habitually use an English acronym               
B.speak a little bit too fast
C.make a mistake in pronunciation                 
D.say something impolite or improper
59.What's Huang Youyi's proposal?D
A.Using full English names instead of short forms.
B.Translating Chinese terms into proper English.
C.Avoiding Chinese words mixing into English.
D.Keeping our mother tongue as a pure language.
60.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?B
A.China has fallen behind in the matter.
B.The ban is not necessary.
C.Chinese shouldn't be corrupted.
D.CCTV anchors will have a hard time.

14.Students at the Hogook Middle School in South Korea have a unique assignment:going  online to message boards and write positive,cheerful comments.Teachers and other adults  hope those comments will discourage others from leaving vicious(惡意的)and negative  remarks.This is one of the activities in a nationwide program called the Sunfull Movement.
Online attacks are an increasing problem in South Korea,one of the world's most connected  nations.The  National Police  Agency  receives tens  of thousands  of  complaints every year.but there is not much that can be done to stop it,since attackers seldom use their real names.In the worst.cases,authorities say cyber-bullies(網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊have pressured  some  people to take their  own lives.That  is  why the  Sunfull  Movement's  founder,Min Byoung'chul,a professor at Kunkuk University,began the program three years ago.

Teacher Kim Eun-young says Koreans do not really say"Thank you"or"J love you"to friends or parents.But being not face一to一face,they feel more comfortable saying those kinds of things.She  also  says  violence  at the  school,both  online  and  offline,has decreased and students and teachers get along much better now.
