1.If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a big problem. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a reasonable way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Lee Chao Tin is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father is a good trumpet player. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.61.Which of the following mistakes are parents likely to make according to the passage?A.To neglect their child’s education.B.To help their child to be a genius.C.To expect too much of their child.D.To make their child become a musician.62.What should parents do in order to help their children succeed?A.They should push the children into achieving a lot.B.They should try to have their own successful careers.C.They should arrange private lessons for their children.D.They should understand and help their children in difficult times.63.Which of the following statements about Michael Lee’s parents is true?A.His father is a very poor player of trumpet.B.His parents are quite rich and have a car.C.His parents help him in a proper way.D.His mother knows much about music.64.Winston’s parents push their son so much that __________.A.he has succeeded in a lot of competitionsB.he is unhappy because he is not self-confidentC.he feels he cannot learn anything about music from themD.he has already become a better musician than his father65.The two examples illustrate the principle that __________.A.successful parents often have unsuccessful childrenB.it is important to let children develop in the way they wantC.parents who want their child to be musical should also be good musiciansD.the more money spent on a child’s education, the better the child will do

    第二篇

    Lawrence Curry

    When I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.
    My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.
    Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.
    He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.

    My great-uncle's anxious look made his lady admirers________.
    A:look stupid
    B:want to protect him
    C:irritate his wife
    D:confused about what worried him

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据文章第一段最后一句:" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人,所以选B。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight",他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视,所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······,由······产生”。
    第二段第五句提到:" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B,即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
    文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人,有强迫阅读症,只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及,所以选D。
    文章的最后一段提到:" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits",小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干,都是孩子爱吃的东西,所以B正确。

    The author implies that Beethoven’s music was strikingly original because Beethoven ______.
    A

    strove to outdo his predecessors by becoming the first composer to exploit limits

    B

    fundamentally changed the musical forms of his predecessors by his own strategy

    C

    distorted the melodies of several of the great composers who preceded him

    D

    manipulated the established musical conventions in a highly innovative fashion


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    文章最后一段后半部分谈到很多人认为Beethoven的作曲颠覆了规则,把音乐从令人窒息的传统中解放出来,但是对他作品进一步的研究表明“Beethoven overturned no fundamental rules”,他只是“exploited limits—the rules, forms, and conventions...in strikingly original ways”,因此D项符合题意。

    Practice 1  Modern intolerance, like ancient Gaul, is divided into three parts; the intolerance of laziness,  the intolerance of ignorance and the intolerance of self-interest.  The first of these is perhaps the most general. It is to be met with in every country and among all classes of society. It is most common is small villages and old-established towns, and it is not restricted to human beings. It is this particular variety of intolerance which makes parents shake their heads over the foolish behavior of their children, which has caused the absurd myth of “the good old days”; which makes savages and civilized creatures wear uncomfortable clothes; which fills the world with a great deal of superfluous nonsense and generally turns all people with a new idea into the supposed enemies of mankind.  The second variety is much more, serious. An ignorant man is, by the very fact of his ignorance, a very dangerous person. But when he tries to invent an accuse for his own lack of mental faculties, he becomes a holy terror. For then he erects within his soul a granite bulwark of self-righteousness and from the high pinnacle of this formidable fortress, he defies all his enemies to show cause why they should be allowed to live.  There remains as a third category the intolerance caused by self-interest. (Hendrik Willem Van Loon: Tolerance)

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    现代的不宽容如同古代的高卢人一样,可以分为三种:懒惰的不宽容,无知的不宽容及自私自利的不宽容。
    第一种可能是最普遍的现象。它可能会在任何一个国家的不同社会阶层中遇到,尤其是在荒凉偏僻的小乡村和年头久远的小镇子里见到的可能性就更大了,而且它绝不仅仅局限于人类社会。就是因为这类先入为主的种种不宽容,父母才会常常对自己孩子们不明智的举止大摇其头,甚至会荒谬地怀念那过去的好日子;这种不宽容还会使野蛮人和文明人都穿上不舒适的外套,会让这个世界充满无穷无尽愚不可及的废话,而且,它通常还会使所有满怀新思想的人变成人类共同的敌人。
    第二种宽容则有变本加厉之势。无知的人,就因为他的无知,便可能成为一个危险的人物。但是,如果他还竭尽全力地为自己智力匮乏找借口的话,那就无可救药了。因为他已在自己的内心深处建立了牢不可催的花岗岩堡垒,他深信自己绝对正确,并从高高在上、令人敬畏的要塞顶端公然向他所有的敌人开战,质问他们有何理由活在世上。
    剩下的就是第三种不宽容了,它是由人们的自私所引发的。

    A:staring at
    B:glancing at
    C:looking
    D:watching

    答案:A
    解析:
    此句意为“在他们的课余时间几乎不做其他的事情”,其中hardly ever为固定搭配,意为“几乎不”等同于never,所以答案为D。
    考查固定搭配。A项be worried about sth.意为“对……表示忧虑”;B项beconcerned about意为“对……感到担心”;D项hopeful意为“有希望的”,与句意不符;而C选项be curious to sth.意为“对……表示好奇”,与句意一致。故选C。
    harmful泛指伤害,而hurt强调情感、精神的伤害,根据题意应选B。
    四个选项都表示看的意思,stare at表示“盯着看”,glance at表示“漂一眼”, look泛指看,watch有观察之意。本句意为“孩子们花了大量的时间盯着电脑看”,故选A。
    考查固定搭配。此句意为“如果孩子在电脑前花费了太长时间,如沉迷网络游戏不是做功课。“A项suppose to…意为“猜想”;B项occupy on sth.表示“专注于某事”,C 项interest in意为“对……感兴趣”,而D选项be absorb in sth.表示“沉浸在……”,与句意相符。故选D。

    此句意为“如果孩子没坚守这个安排……”,从句子的意思上看这里有“坚持”的意思,所以应该在A和B之间选择,hold to表示“坚持”,stick to表示“坚持(信念,理想)”,故选A。
    固定搭配take step to do sth.意为“采取措施做某事”。
    此句意为“……这样与协商任何关于这样的行为的讨价还价无异。”A项 dealing意为“处理”;D项arranging意为“安排,排列”;只有B选项negotiating意为“谈判,协商”与句意相符。故选B。

    从句子的意思上看这里有“必要”之意,consequently表示“结果是”,故选B。
