13、ew environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013,Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become Chinas most popular show, averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Dail
14、y, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.” But what accounts for the shows popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek(窥探) into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences
15、are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fac
16、t that it is a reexamination of the fathers role in traditional Chinese culture, said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. In a society still influenced by the concept that “men rule outside and women inside.”, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usu
17、ally, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese societywhat is the role of fathers in todays China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see
18、many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isnt just one way to raise a child. But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their childrens choices may be a more appropriate way t
19、o prepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better. 26. The second paragraph is mainly about _. A. the shows success B. the r
20、eason for the shows successC. the China Dailys praise D. deep affection between fathers and their kids27. The chief function of “But what accounts for the shows popularity?” (in Paragraph 2) is _.

The role of fathers is changing in China.C. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.D. More and more mothers go out to wo
22、rk.29. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the shows success? A. People are curious about celebrities life and their kids.B.

What is the role of fathers in todays China?D. Various parenting styles in China BFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-
24、like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox
25、across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and fol
26、low strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is crue
27、l, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs attempt to stop the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which th
28、e dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament(议会), Mike Foster, i
29、s trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.

32、ting foxes has some rules to follow.D. More and more British people object to fox hunting.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Mike Foster is a firm supporter of fox hunting.B. Fox hunters and saboteurs seldom have conflicts nowadays.C. The law to ban hunting wild animals will be pas
33、sed in Britain this year. D. As a sport, fox hunting may disappear in Britain in the future. CSituated at the gate to the Tianjin Childrens Welfare Institute, a government-run orphanage, the baby hatch -also known as a babies safety island - allows desperate parents to leave unwanted newborns, press
34、 an alarm button, and depart anonymously. After a delay of about five minutes, someone from the institute will arrive to get the child.But facilities(设施) such as this have been under fire recently. While some people have approved of the idea, saying it protects the lives of unwanted children; critic
35、s argue that it encourages the immoral to abandon such babies, which is illegal in China. Its difficult to obtain statistics about the number of abandoned children in China, but the 2010 China Child Welfare Policy Report, released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute, estimated that 100,000
36、babies are abandoned every year, most of them with disabilities and illnesses. In July ,2013, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs launched a pilot project to set up baby hatches across China, Tianjin was one of the first cities to launch a facility and there were 24 baby hatches in 10 provinces, muni
37、cipalities and autonomous regions(地区). A further 18 regions are preparing to open facilities by the end of this year, according to the China Center for Childrens Welfare and Adoption.“The baby hatch guards an unwanted baby from harm and increases its chances of survival,” said Xu Shuming, who is in
38、charge of the reception of unwanted children and their following adoption at the Tianjin Childrens Welfare Institute, is also in favor of the project. Before the baby hatch came into use, the babies we took in were usually brought by the police. They had been found at bus stations, public rest rooms
39、, or parks; it could be anywhere. One baby we received last year was almost frozen to death, she said. “For our part, we hope parents will leave more information with their unwanted babies, such as medical records so that we can understand the real situation, avoid repeated medical checkups, and sav
40、e time,” Xu said.36. A baby hatch is a place where .A. parents can leave their baby for some time B. unwanted newborns can be left.C. unhealthy babies can be treated free of chargeD. the chances of babies survival can be increased37. The underlined phrase “under fire” in Paragraph 2 is closest in me
41、aning to .A. ignored B. attacked C. supported D. discussed38Why some people are against the baby hatch?A. Because it encourages parents to abandon the unwanted babies.B. Because it is illegal to abandon a baby in China.C. Because it wastes an amount of money.D. Because it protects unwanted babies.39
42、. According to passage, we know _.A. All the people approve of the baby hatch.B. Its easy to figure out exactly the number of abandoned children in ChinaC. Most of the unwanted babies are in poor conditionD. There will be 42 baby hatches in China at the end of this year40. We can infer from the pass
43、age .A. Parents usually leave little information in case that they are found out.B. Less and less unwanted babies are abandoned in ChinaC. The police used to take charge of attending abandoned babiesD. The information left by parents may be of great help to protect unwanted babies DResearchers at th
44、e University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes. Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers, the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. S
45、hoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues（线索）with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear. Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits（特质）detected in the study include a persons general age, income, political ten
46、dency, and other personality traits, including someones emotional stability. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes wo
47、rn by the studys participants. Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire. So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive
48、 shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people. However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, practical and functional shoes were generally worn by more friendly people, while ankle boots were more closely connected with aggressive personalities. The s
49、trangest of all may be that those who wore uncomfortable looking shoes tend to have calm personalities. And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety,” spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appeara
50、nce. There was even a political calculation in the mix with wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes. The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footw
51、ear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.41. By looking at a persons shoes, its possible for people to_.A. know the wearer thoroughlyB. estimate the wearers characterC. have exact cues about the wearers social statusD. judge the wearers educational background42. Which statem
52、ent is Not true according to the passage?A. In the study, peoples personality traits were detected. B. In the study, participants wore 208 different shoes. C. In the study, 63 students were asked to fill out questionnaire about personality.D. In the study, judgments were made according to various ch
53、aracteristics of peoples shoes.43. What can we know about the passage?A. Wealthy people favor shiny shoes.B. Calm people prefer shoes with uncomfortable appearance.C. Friendly people are likely to wear ankle boots.D. Outgoing people always wear shoes with practical functions.44. Taking exceptional c
54、are of new shoes shows that _.A. the owners care much about others opinions on their appearance B. the owners are in a relaxed stateC. the owners are particular about their appearance D. the owners have too many shoes to choose from45. What is the best title of the passage?A. How To Choose Suitable

81、nce of travelling, which means if one wants to understand people and the world profoundly, travelling is a better way than just reading books directly.I am strongly for this idea, which is really meaningful and helpful to us. As we know, we gain knowledge from books, and put them into practice final
82、ly. Yet most of time, we find that the knowledge of the book is quite different from that of reality. Travelling can tell us the truth, helping us learn the world more clearly. Sometimes, what the books tell us is rather idealized. Not until we experience in person do we realize that the world is no
83、t as pure and simple as we think. As students, we of course should read as much as we can, but meanwhile if possible，we can travel to other places personally, contactingdifferent people, experiencing various cultures, learning different languages. These may not be acquired by reading, but can help us understand the world better and live a better life in the future.
