第1题：
Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.
Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.
Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.
Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

A. They become the victims of social violence.
B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.
C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.
D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.
3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______
A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising
B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers
C. commercials help to sell products
D. they don’t like commercials
4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____
A. it does have the same commercials as others
B. it offers programs for both children and their parents
C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children
D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school
5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

第4题：
Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Home Office__.A.has given powers to the police to pick up parents
B.will give money to parents to send children to school
C.will go to the family and persuade parents and their children
D.will punish parents who fail to send their children to school答案：D解析：最后一段。家庭办公室也实施一种政策，即不送孩子进校念书的家长要被罚款，并赋予警察权力。警察可以抓游荡在街上的学龄儿童。 -

Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother
In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions（秉性）,different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?
Parenting is the hardest job I've ever had.When Lulu rebelled and I began questioning everything I'd done.I feel very lucky that I adjusted in time一today my daughters and I are close friends一and I wanted to share my story with other mothers,because we are all struggling with the same problem:how can we raise happy,strong,self-reliant children?While considering success,Chinese parents are less open-minded.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：文章第四段，作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性，不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福，所以该判断正确。
从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math"，即科学和数学的排名都靠后，相反，上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以，该判断不正确。
文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练，但是，后面的“they (他们）”指的是中国孩子，即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative"，鼓励他们的创造力。
第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明，中国家长思想还不够开明，所以，该判断正确。
第一段的最后一句指出，美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters"，这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice"，但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学，所以选C。 -

第9题：
The passage mainly talks about( )A.the general situation of eating disorders in the group of children
B.the reason why children are suffering from eating disorders
C.the steps parents should take to prevent their children from eating disorders
D.all of the above .答案：D解析：主旨题。全文介绍了饮食不规律孩子的状况，饮食不规律的原因，以及对此给父母的建议。故本题选D。参考译文：在当今社会，我们看到越来越多的12岁以下儿童饮食失调。据估计，九岁的儿童中有40%已经开始节食，我们也能够看到四五岁的儿童也开始表达节食的意愿。这么小的孩子就被剥夺了童年，真是一大憾事。为什么会有这么多的孩子沉迷于节食和减肥呢？我觉得这和家庭环境有很大关系，另外一个事实是，孩子们不断地接触到社会传递的“瘦很重要”的信息。家庭功能缺失的孩子饮食失调的风险更高。在一个遭受身体虐待或性骚扰的家庭中，孩子可能会转向饮食失调以获得“控制感”。他们无法控制自己的身体在虐待期间的遭遇，但他们可以控制自己的食物摄入量或体重。自我强迫的饥饿也可能是他们试图隐藏自身的方式，这样他们就不用再遭受虐待。如果儿童生长在一个不允许表达情感的家庭中，那么他们也可能会饮食失调，因为这是他们处理情绪的方式。被强制进食的孩子通常会用食物来帮助自身处理愤怒、悲伤、受伤、孤独、被遗弃、恐惧和痛苦的情绪。如果孩子不被允许表达自身的情绪，他们可能会成为情绪化的食客。此外，如果父母过于关注自身，孩子可能会转向食物寻求安慰。如果父母过分在意孩子的外表和体重，孩子也有可能饮食失调。如果父母一直在节食，并且对自己的身材不满意，那么孩子就会认为外表很重要。在一些家庭中，父母把婴儿肥误认为是真正的肥胖，可能会试图强迫孩子节食。这不仅错误，而且很残忍。作为父母，你需要为孩子树立好的榜样，这意味着你应该健康饮食。另一件要记住的事是，孩子们饿了就吃，饱了就停。如果孩子不想吃，千万不要强迫他们吃。太多的家庭强迫孩子留在餐桌上，直到吃完盘子里的所有食物。这样做可能会导致孩子讨厌吃饭，对食物产生厌恶。锻炼也是个人生活的重要组成部分，我们需要协助孩子们参与体育活动，这意味着父母应该自发参加健康的锻炼。帮助孩子找到他们喜欢的活动以及全家人都能享受的活动。他们应当被告知体育活动对保持身体强壮健康和的重要性，而不是被告知锻炼只是为了保持身材苗条。 -
第10题：
Advertising to Children （1） Not only are they easily swayed by advertising， they are also persuasive in encouraging their parents to buy a product. If a child wants something in their kid's locker， they will prod and annoy their parents until they get what they want.（2）All it takes is a little suggestion from a single advertisement to send them on their way. （3） In a campaign entitled "Kids are the Star"， its employees were encouraged to pay special attention to children and to make sure they had a positive experience while eating at its restaurants. The reason for this， naturally， was not that the McDonald's corporation cared deeply about the well-being of children everywhere， but that the pester-power that children have is extraordinarily effective at bringing their parents back for more visits. The way that advertisers target children is simple big， bright lights， happy people and animated characters are all that is needed to encourage children to think a certain product is something they want. （4）They do not realize that Ronald McDonald is just a guy in a Costum and make-up， and that behind the counter of every McDonald's is a bunch of kids working in uncomfortable conditions for low pay. This poses a real moral dilemma for those who make the advertising decisions， or at least it should. （5）How do you say no to an opportunity to reach such a wide audience of children， who act as advertisers themselves when they encourage other children and their parents to buy a particular product？ 1.（）
- A、While manipulating children into believing lies， especially encouraging them to eat unhealthy foods， is obviously bad， the purpose of business is to make money
- B、The superficial reactions children get from eating McDonald's last about as long as they are at the place
- C、McDonald's at one stage advised employees to specifically target children
- D、Children are a prime target for advertisers and salesmen across the world
- E、Anyone who has seen a child pester its parents knows the lengths children can go to
- F、This is because children are naive； they genuinely believe what an advertiser tells them
正确答案:D -

Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Ministry of Education will take away a school's grant if__.A.they do not reach their objectives

In general,I think Western parenting gives children too much freedom at too young an age.The average American child spends almost 70 percent more time watching television than attending school.In the recent PISA international tests,the US came out an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math一with Shanghai children ranked No 1.Western children have alarming rates of alcohol and drug abuse and teenage pregnancy,too.On the other hand,American universities continue to be the envy of the world,and the US excels at teaching creativity,innovation and leadership.
What are the lessons for China then?Here are a few things China may be able to learn from the West.
First,while children in the West have too much choice,their counterparts in China may have too little.In between school,tutoring and lessons,many Chinese children work nonstop,getting little opportunity to have fun with friends,explore on their own and discover what they truly enjoy.What I learned is that as children grow up,parents should listen to their choices more carefully and gradually
give them more freedom to pursue their own passions.
Second,Chinese parents should pay more attention to their children's individual personalities. Every child is different. So depending on children's natural predispositions（秉性）,different career paths will make them happy. Some people may find it more fulfilling to become a photographer or fashion designer instead of a doctor. If Chinese parents become more open-minded in what they consider"success",it may help lessen the intense competition and pressure that many Chinese children feel.
Finally,Chinese parents are good at getting their children to memorize,practice and drill一skills I believe the West needs more of一but they should also find ways to encourage creativity and initiative.My daughters were lucky because my husband taught them the value of independent thinking. He always asked"why".Just because someone told you so,how do you know it's right?

A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：文章第四段，作者提到“…different career paths will make them happy" ,只要考虑到孩子迥异的天性，不管什么样的职业都会使他们获得幸福，所以该判断正确。
从第一章中间看到美国孩子在测试中处于“an embarrassing 23rd in science and 34th in math"，即科学和数学的排名都靠后，相反，上海孩子在两者均名列第一。所以，该判断不正确。
文第五段指出西方孩子需要更多的记忆和操练，但是，后面的“they (他们）”指的是中国孩子，即中国孩子需要“find ways to encourage creativity and initiative"，鼓励他们的创造力。
第四段的条件句“If Chinese parents become more open-minded ...”表明，中国家长思想还不够开明，所以，该判断正确。
第一段的最后一句指出，美国大学“continue to be the envy of the world", 依然广受世人羡慕。
倒数第二段中间用了“my daughters"，这说明作者不只是一个孩子的母亲。
尽管第三段开头说美国孩子“have too much choice"，但是并没有具体说到他们可以自主选择是否上大学，所以选C。 -

第24题：
单选题Advertising to Children （1） Not only are they easily swayed by advertising， they are also persuasive in encouraging their parents to buy a product. If a child wants something in their kid's locker， they will prod and annoy their parents until they get what they want.（2）All it takes is a little suggestion from a single advertisement to send them on their way. （3） In a campaign entitled "Kids are the Star"， its employees were encouraged to pay special attention to children and to make sure they had a positive experience while eating at its restaurants. The reason for this， naturally， was not that the McDonald's corporation cared deeply about the well-being of children everywhere， but that the pester-power that children have is extraordinarily effective at bringing their parents back for more visits. The way that advertisers target children is simple big， bright lights， happy people and animated characters are all that is needed to encourage children to think a certain product is something they want. （4）They do not realize that Ronald McDonald is just a guy in a Costum and make-up， and that behind the counter of every McDonald's is a bunch of kids working in uncomfortable conditions for low pay. This poses a real moral dilemma for those who make the advertising decisions， or at least it should. （5）How do you say no to an opportunity to reach such a wide audience of children， who act as advertisers themselves when they encourage other children and their parents to buy a particular product？ 2.（）AWhile manipulating children into believing lies， especially encouraging them to eat unhealthy foods， is obviously bad， the purpose of business is to make money
BThe superficial reactions children get from eating McDonald's last about as long as they are at the place
CMcDonald's at one stage advised employees to specifically target children
DChildren are a prime target for advertisers and salesmen across the world
EAnyone who has seen a child pester its parents knows the lengths children can go to
FThis is because children are naive； they genuinely believe what an advertiser tells them
正确答案： A解析： 空格前一句讲到当孩子想要得到广告中的商品的时候，会百般央求自己的父母直到他们因烦恼而同意购买。其中prod（v.戳、捅或催促）和annoy（v.烦恼）与E项中的pester（v.百般纠缠，使烦恼）所表现出的语境一致，都是指孩子在纠缠父母买自己喜欢的物品时的场景。答案为E。
