(Text 10)
Most children feel frightened when they first go to school，because they are not familiar with the school at all.Before that，they stayed at home with their parents.At home，children can do what they want.But at school they can’t do all the things they like.Learning knowledge is the most important thing at school.At home，parents don’t punish their children in front of many people，but at school，children will be punished in front of their classmates if they do something wrong.For example，if a boy doesn’t finish his homework，the teacher will say “Why are you the only one in class who didn’ t finish the homework？” If a girl doesn’t listen to the teacher carefully in class，the teacher will say “Why are you the only one who can’t work quietly at your desk？” What’s more，at school，some children can not be noticed by the teacher very much because the teacher is too busy to take care of 50 to 70 students.
However，children can learn a lot at school.They can’t learn so much if they’re not in school.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.Under the U．S.Endangered Species Act of 1973，the green turtle was listed as threatened except for the breeding populations in Florida and on the Pacific coast of Mexico，where it is listed as endangered.
Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans，and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging (觅食) sites is a serious problem.Humans have already caused the decrease of large green turtle populations，including those that once nested in Bermuda and Cayman Islands.The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles.The number of nests in Florida appears to be increasing，but we don’t know whether this is due to an increase in the number of nests or because we have started to monitor (监控) nesting beaches more closely.
The green turtle is the largest hard?shelled sea turtle.Adults of this species commonly reach 100 cm in length and 150 kg in mass.The average size of a female nesting in Florida is 101.5 cm straight in length，with an average body mass of 136 kg.
Growth rates of green turtles have not been measured under natural conditions.Green turtles grow slowly.
In the southern Bahamas，green turtles grow from 30 to 75 cm in 17 years，and according to Bjorndal and Bolten，growth rates decrease with increasing length.Growth rates measured in green turtles from Florida and Puerto Rico fall within the range of growth rates measured in the southern Bahamas.Based on growth rate studies of wild green turtles，the researchers Balazs，Frazer and Ehrhart estimate the age of sexual maturity (成熟) can range anywhere from 20 to 50 years.
51．The main idea of the passage is to tell us ________.
A．something about an endangered animal
B．how green turtles got extinct
C．how heavy a green turtle is
D．how long a green turtle can live
解析：选A。主旨大意题。文章开头就提到了绿海龟是一种濒临灭绝的动物，文章主要讲述了绿海龟的生存地、生活习性和大小等。B、C、D只是文章中对绿海龟的某个方面的描述，不能作为文章的主旨大意。
52．Which of the following is NOT a reason why green turtles are endangered?
A．Humans catch them to get profit.
B．They lose their nests.
C．They have fewer places to find food.
D．people like to keep them as pets.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans，and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging sites is a serious problem.”可知文章提到了绿海龟濒临灭绝的三个原因：即人类的捕获，失去巢穴和失去寻找食物的地方。而D项文章没有提到，故其不能作为绿海龟濒临灭绝的原因。
53．Why is it hard for us to know the number of green turtles?
A．Because it is difficult for us to be close to them.
B．Because we have limited knowledge about them.
C．Because we haven’t measured their growth rates.
D．Because they grow too slowly.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的“The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles.”可知我们不知道绿海龟具体数量的原因是因为我们缺乏有关其生命周期的知识。
54．What can we know from the passage?
A．Bjorndal and Bolten are two famous psychologists.
B．Green turtles have the same age of sexual maturity.
C．The green turtle grows more slowly after reaching a certain length.
D．Researchers have known the status of green turtle populations.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“growth rates decrease with increasing length”可知，绿海龟长到一定的长度后生长越来越缓慢。
B
Making pulp (纸浆) and paper is a traditional industry in Canada.According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association，Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper.If these paper products could be produced in some other way，Canadian forests could be left.Recently，a possible way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp (麻)．
Hemp has been grown for a long time.It produces fiber which can be made into paper，fuel，oil，food and rope.For centuries，it was very important to the economies of many countries because it was used to make big ropes used on sailing ships.The worldwide trading network would not have been possible without hemp.Nowadays，ships’ ropes are usually made from wire or fibers，but scientists are now suggesting growing hemp.In fact，four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees，and many environmentalists believe that the large?scale growing of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests.
However，there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world.This plant，which is related to the plant from which a drug called marijuana (大麻毒品) is produced，is very useful for fiber，rope，oil and fuel.In the late 1930s，a movement to ban (禁止) the drug marijuana began，resulting in the banning of the growing not only of the plant used to produce the drug，but also of the commercial fiber?producing hemp plant.In fact，the drug marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant，since it doesn’t contain the active ingredient (成分)in the drug.In recent years，many people try to make it legal to grow the plant and sell the fiber for production.
55．Why is pulp and paper production important to Canada?
A．Canada needs to find a way to use all its spare wood.
B．Canada publishes a lot of newspapers and books.
C．Pulp and paper export is a major source of earning money for Canada.
D．Hemp is a traditional plant of Canada.
解析：选C。根据第一段第二句“According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association，Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper”可知，加拿大的纸浆和纸制品出口量大，是加拿大重要的收入来源，所以选项C为正确答案。
56．In the past worldwide trade，the plant hemp was used as ________.
A．a material for ships’ ropes
B．a very rewarding export
C．fuel for ships
D．food for sailors
解析：选A。根据第二段第三句“For centuries，it was very important to the economies of many countries because it was used to make big ropes used on sailing ships”可知答案。
57．Hemp was banned because ________.
A．it is related to the marijuana plant
B．it can be used to produce marijuana
C．it was no longer a useful crop
D．it was harmful to the land
解析：选A。根据第三段第2句“This plant，which is related to the plant from which a drug called marijuana is produced，is very useful for fiber，rope，oil and fuel”可知，这种植物非常有用，可以制成纤维、绳索、油类和燃料，但它是大麻属的一种植物，所以选项A是正确答案。
58．According to the passage，what can be used to make paper?
A．Trees.
B．Hemp plant.
C．Marijuana plant.
D．Both trees and hemp plant.
解析：选D。根据文章第2段最后一句“In fact，four times as much paper can be produced from Land using hemp rather than trees，...”可知正确答案为D项。
C
The first houses were built around 7000 BC in West Asia，but the first big buildings were built much later，around 3000 BC.Later on，by about 1800 BC，the Egyptians began to build big royal palaces richly decorated.Soon the people of Greece began to imitate (仿效) these palaces for their own kings and queens.That was the start of European architecture (建筑)．
However，around 1000 BC the dark ages kept people from building for a while，because they were too poor and worried，and when the dark ages ended there were no more kings in Greece，and so no more palaces.The Greeks built a lot of temples for their gods at that time，especially the famous Parthenon.Because after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and West Asia in 331 BC，Greek architecture spread all over his empire，and even beyond it into India.Theaters and temples were built wherever Alexander had fought.
When the Romans created their own empire，they also built Roman buildings all over it.The Romans brought some new ideas to architecture: they built in brick and concrete，and they used the arch and the dome (拱顶)．They built theaters，temples，palaces，bath buildings，apartment blocks，restaurants and houses all over，from England to Iraq.They used apses (半圆形殿) at the ends of their buildings.The conversion(转变) of the empire to Christianity about 350?400 AD inspired.(赋予灵感) the Romans to build a lot of churches.It was also at about this time that people in India began to build Hindu temples，and many of them were cut out of the living rock.
With the fall of Rome in about 450 AD European architecture also declined for a while，and only small churches were built in Europe.In the Islamic empire，however，many beautiful mosques (清真寺) were built from Spain to India，and also many big palaces.Hindu temples also continued to be built.
By 800 AD，the development of economy brought ancient architecture back to life and big buildings were going up again in Europe.Soon big churches were built all over England，France and Italy.European architecture revived (复兴) and spread to other parts of the world.Then，beginning around 1100 AD，the great Gothic cathedrals were built in Christian Europe，while mosques continued to be built in West Asia，Africa，India and Spain.

In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill.A parent is often trying to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child.This might happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early；a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads.On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents’ degree of strictness towards their children is not the same.Some may be especially strict in money matters.Others are strict in the time of coming home at night or coming for meals on time.The controls usually represent the needs of the parents as much as the child’s own happiness.
As for the development of moral (道德的) standards in the growing child，consistency(一致性) is very important in parental teaching.To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next has no help for morality.Also，parents should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教)，their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves，and realize they have been fooled.A sudden realization of difference can be a dangerous disappointment.
63．In the process of children’s learning new skills，parents should ________.
A．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．expect a lot in bringing up children
C．achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
解析：选C。文章第一段第二句“A parent is often trying to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child”说明在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。
64．The underlined word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．opinion B．instruction
C．behavior D．punishment
解析：选B。句意：榜样比说教更有力。opinion“观点”；instruction“指教”；behavior“行为”；punishment“惩罚”，故选项B为正确答案。
65．In terms of moral matters，parents should ________.
A．follow the rules themselves
B．know the huge difference between adults and children
C．prevent their children from following their teaching
D．always be sure of the safety of their children
解析：选A。根据文章最后一段可以得出结论：关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，故选A项。
66．Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.
A．is harmful
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D．will make the child lose interest in learning new things
解析：选B。根据文章第一句“In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill”可知，每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在父母中是普遍存在的，故选B项。

One day，as Jesse James and his team members were riding through Missouri，they saw a farmhouse and stopped to ask for something to eat.A widow(寡妇) lived there with three small children.She didn’t have much in the house，but shared with them what she had.
It was while they were eating lunch that Jesse James noticed that something was troubling this kind widow.He questioned her about it，and she broke down and told him her story.She had to pay for the rent of the house on that very day，and since her husband had died，she did not have money to pay it.Her landlord was not a kind man，and refused to allow them to rent the house.He was sure to put her children and herself out on the street.
“How much money do you need to pay the rent？” Jesse asked the widow.
“Fifteen hundred dollars，” the widow cried.
Jesse James took out his money bag，counted out 1,500 dollars and gave it to the widow.
“I can’t take this，” she didn’t accept it，but Jesse James insisted she use the money to pay off the rent and buy the house for the poor family.
“Just make sure you get a receipt(收据)，” he warned her，and she promised that she would.Then he got a description of the man，and left with his friends.
Jesse James and his friends waited in the woods near the house until the landlord had collected his money from the widow.Then they rode out onto the road and stole their money back from the landlord.
