A father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.
Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.
Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that 4-year-old son not only runs 3 km every day he also takes cold showers from time to time to strengthen his body's resistance and willpower.
"He has never taken any sick leave from kindergarten," he said proudly. However, some parents find his methods too extreme.
"I'm not sure a 4-year-old is prepared for such intense training," said Zhang Ruxia a woman who gave birth to two boys in October in Tianjin. "You can have good intentions to train your child at an early age but you also have to consider whether he can take it." Wang responded by saying children are too young to make decisions, and it is up to parents to lead them on the right path.
"I read many materials before and the whole process is step-by-step without pushing or imposing on my son," Wang said. The father said he was not acting rashly but following a scientific way of education. He said the doubts about his methods reflect the declining standards of modern education.
"Many people in Japan give their children cold showers too ,and no one is fussing about it，" he said. The traditional way of education applied by most of his peers might not necessarily help bring the best out of a child he said.
Wang said in addition to the physical training, he has also laid out a detailed and particular program to strengthen the intelligence of the child. "I have hired some university students to expand his knowledge in natural sciences, while playing the video for English-language teaching as well," he said.
31. For what reason was Wang made known to the public?
A. He employed some college students to teach his son.
B. He made his kid take a long distance race.
C. He exposed his 4-year-old to cold showers.
D. He forced his youngster to run 3 km every day.
32. Which statement is supported by the parents who hold the opposite opinion?
A. Extreme physical training can explore children's full potentials.
B. Taking cold showers regularly is beneficial for children's development.
C. It's up to parents to lead children on the right path.
D. The way to educate children should agree with their age.
33. What does the phrase "fussing about” probably mean in the 8th paragraph?
A. Minding about.B. Paying attention to.
C. Laughing at.D. Talking about.
34. In Eagle Dad's opinion ，his extreme parenting was questioned because____.
A. he didn't take it step by step in a scientific way
B. the highly tense work-out was misunderstood
C. modern education is not challenging enough
D. some parents were jealous of his success

Many a die-hard online shopper stayed up until 2 am on Sunday, looking through the Internet to buy products being sold at half-price before they could be snapped up by other shoppers. Tens of millions of Internet users were crazy taking advantage of the half-price promotion, started by the e-commerce giant Alibaba Group on Sunday, Nov. 11，which is known as Singles’ Day in China, and is the Chinese answer to Cyber Monday in the United States.
By 7 pm on Sunday, 14.1 billion yuan's worth of sales was made on Tmall and Taobao5 the two online shopping websites of Alibaba. That could make Singles’ Day the biggest e-commerce sales day on record. The research company comScore said US online retailers (零售商)saw $1.25 billion of sales during last year's Cyber Monday, the day after Thanksgiving weekend and the busiest day for online retailers as US shoppers start to prepare for Christmas.
Singles, Day originated with university students, and was later adopted by e-commerce companies as a promotional opportunity. E-commerce companies， including Jingdong Mall and Amazon China, also took part in the promotion. "In the past, people only shopped online occasionally, but now ，online shopping is a lifestyle embraced by many," said Zhang Yong ,Tmall president.
Alibaba began to hold Singles' Day promotions in 2009, and last year, its sales totaled 5.2 billion yuan. "I don't know whether we would lose money, but I don't think we could earn much on this day by selling goods at half price，" said Hao Hongfeng ， chairman of Beijing Jiuxian E-Commerce, a liquor retailer in Beijing who took part in the event. He said it is a good opportunity for online retailers to get their names known.
35. Who first introduced Single's Day to the public?
A. Researchers in comScore.B. The online shoppers.
C. Some college students.D. The online retailers.
36. Why were the retailers so active in the promotion?
A. To sell more products and services.

C. To make more business friends through the event.
D. To make their names known to more people.
37. What's the secret behind the success of this promotion?

C. The fame of the retailers.D. The after-sales service.

Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.
“There are many better ones available now. It's time to upgrade(更新）my phone.”
Li's impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released, many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.
As consumers' minds are occupied by Apple's newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?"
According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘 汰）” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today's consumer electronics industry.
Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.
“This is an old-time trick- they're not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies-many of them producing personal electronics - release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, they'll put out a new one.”
But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system ，as Norman admitted， “We now want something new ，something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard ，the world's biggest PC maker ，it was only 7 percent.
Apple's annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year's MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, even when the changes are slight.
As to Li Jijia ，the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.
“Some games require better hardware to run，” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”
39. What's the author's attitude towards people's greed for new products?
A. Supportive.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Unclear.
40. How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?
A. They make full use of the "planned obsolescence” strategy.
B. They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.
C. They control the customers' way of thinking while shopping.
D. They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jij ia.
41. Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product?
A. To provide customers with better service.
B. To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard.
C. To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers.
D. To make huge profits out of its business.
42. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result of____.
A. new psychologyB. peer pressure
C. life styleD. friends' expectation
D
The computer keyboard helped kill shorthand---a system of rapid handwriting, and now it's threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole. When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2014, just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草写字母）.The rest? Block letters.
And those college hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades, frequently 10 minutes a day or less. As a result, more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.
At Keene Mill Elementary School in Springfield, all their poems and stories are typed. Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten. Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesn't affect their grades.
There are those who say the culture is at a crossing, turning from the written word to the typed one. If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication, does it matter?
It was at University of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert, written in his unique script. Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers, historians say, because their authenticity (真实性）can be confirmed. Students also find them more fascinating.
The loss of handwriting also may be a cognitive (认知的）opportunity missed. Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better-a lifelong benefit.
It doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills. At some schools in Prince George's County, elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day. They learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through second grade, and cursive letters in third grade.
There are always going to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological (神经系统的)wiring, learning issues or poor motor skills. Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.
43. What is the author concerned about after 2014 SAT exams?
A. Keyboarding B. Handwriting C. Shorthand D. Block letters
44. A poem by Robert mentioned in the passage is used to ____.
A. show how unique his poem is
B. explain what a famous poet he is
C. prove how valuable handwriting is
D. stress how fascinating the documents are
45. The example of Handwriting Without Tears helps to argue that____.
A. the schools are responsible for the loss of handwriting
B. the loss of handwriting is a cognitive opportunity missed xKb 1.Com
C. the culture is turning from the written word to the typed one
D. it doesn't take much to teach better handwriting skills
46. According to the author ，when is a perfect time to learn handwriting?
A. Primary school.B. Kindergarten.
C. High school.D. College.
E
Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia ---short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the "extraordinary rise" in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.
Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的） beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation (拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors - a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.
Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.
Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asia9 children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.
A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍）and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.
For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. "Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn't fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don't change in two generations. Whether it's a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesn't matter, the thing that's changed is not the gene pool—-it's the environment."
47. As is mentioned above ，which factor mainly results in students' myopia in South East Asia?
A. Genetic faults of the people.B. Elongation of the eyeball.
C. The shortage of outdoor light.D. Lack of research into the problem.
48. Which of the following statements do you think agrees with Professor Morgan?
A. A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.
B. Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.
C. It's necessary to treat myopia with an operation.
D. It's of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.
49. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.
B. The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.
C. Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.
D. An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.
50. What's the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?
A.Equip the classroom with better lights.
B.Look at the sun from time to time.
C.Do eyes exercise regularly.
D.Spend more time in the open air.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数 要求)。
Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless? If you ask me, I'd like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth.
Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea where they are going. Women don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find themselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn.
Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because women trick to get out of tickets but only because they don't speed. Women don't risk putting their own lives and the lives of others in danger. In other words ，they have more responsibility for life.
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible. They're totally lost in loud music beyond a necessary level. You don't ever see women driving like that.
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are queens of the road. Oh ，men, if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers， bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.
56. Who does the author think are the better drivers? (no more than 1 word)
57. When will women drivers stop to ask for help? (no more than 9 words)
58. Why do men get more speeding tickets? (no more than 3 words)
59. What quality do women drivers have when it comes to safety? (no more than 3 words)
60. How is the seat backed by most male drivers? (no more than 4 words)
