3."Beating is a sign of affection,cursing (罵)is a sign of love."
Many people 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 precollege military academies(軍事學院) in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.
"Good education doesn't mean offering your child a better future,especially our boys,"said Song Wenming,a rich businessman 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 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania.And he is far from alone,even though it takes a lot of money---around48,000per 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 whom were spoiled (溺愛),"said Jennifer Myers,director of marketing and communications at the school.
Song's only son,Song Siyu,had a difficult start during his first six weeks at the school.The teenager said he was willing to go to the school but did not expect it to be so 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 as required.He can even take criticism(批評),no matter how unreasonable.
"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of the young,"said Song Siyu."The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character,and they are not personal."
But his enthusiasm is not universal.Ten of the 13Chinese students who joined the academy this year have moved to other schools.
But for those who stick with it,there is a reward for all the hard work.

解答 32-35 CDBA
32.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Today,it seems,Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies(軍事學院) in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success."可知現(xiàn)在的父母對孩子要求嚴格,也是一種愛的表現(xiàn).所以"打是親罵是愛"這句話現(xiàn)在仍然很有道理.故選C.
33.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"A few years ago,there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge.Today,there are 28."可知有很多中國的學生來到這個地方.所以"he is far from alone"是指還有人送他們的孩子來到這個學校.故選D.
34.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"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 as required.He can even take criticism(批評),no matter how unreasonable."和"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of the young,"可知A、C、D三項都是他做到的事.B項的內(nèi)容與文章不符,文章只說不看食物,沒有說閉著眼睛.故選B.
35.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies."可知越來越多的中國家庭要送孩子來到這里.故選A.
點評 此題主要考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.細節(jié)理解題是針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設置問題,所以在做細節(jié)理解題時要結合原文和提干有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,再結合選項選出正確答案.在做推理判斷題時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.
