2、ay.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, Londons Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns(灯笼), previous years have see
3、n shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts(武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Franciscos Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States.

5、ays are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood.

9、hat determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using t
10、he latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do. Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预
11、演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of fall
12、ing off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.” Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or
13、 how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown” The changes are small but
14、 the difference is obvious. Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.4. Positive choice of words helps kids to _.A. do things carefully B. build up their confidenceC. improve their imagination D. learn in different situa
15、tions5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2_A. A child will act on what is instructedB. One cant help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One wont think of a blue monkey when given money.6. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safeA. Fasten your s
16、eat belt. B. Dont play by the lake.C. How do you think Ill feel if you get hurtD. Dont you dare to walk through the red light7. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. praise makes kids confident B. right instructions keep kids safeC. clear commands make kids different D. positive instructions gui
17、de kidsCDormitory management officials in universities say that lately they are noticing something different:students seem to lack the will and skill to address their ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many
18、of our roommate conflicts are because kids dont know how to negotiate.”(协商)And as many psychologists will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent unhappiness that can boil over into frustration and anger. “ At Florida University,emotional outbreaks occur about once a week,” the dormitory director
19、says. “It used to be: Lets sit down and talk about it,” he says. “Recently,roommate conflicts have increased. The students dont have the person-to-person discussions and they dont know how to handle them.” The problem is most impressive among freshmen; dormitory officials say some students even neve
20、r seem to catch on till graduation, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.Administrators suppose that relying on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable meetings. Why express anger in person when you can do
21、it in a text? Facebook makes the situation worse as complaints go public. “Things are posted on someones wall on Facebook:Oh,my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz,an assistant director in the housing office at California University. Its a different way to express their conflicts
22、 to each other. ” In recent group discussions at North Carolina State University, students said they would not even accuse the noisy neighbors on their floor face to face.Administrators also point to parents who have fixed their childrens problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children
23、lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Would these parents continue to take care of everything on campus?8. What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. To greet someone with a tide or name. B. To start trying to solve a problem.C. To put an address on an enve
24、lope. D. To make a formal speech.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students handled it directly when they were in conflict.B. Parents are the main factor to make their children lose the skills.C. Cellphones are to blame in the students conflicts in their dormitories.D. Un
25、happy and cornered emotions resulted in quarrels between students once a week.10. What do we learn from the group discussions at North Carolina State University?A. Students are always angry with each other. B. Students have to bear noises from neighbors.C. Students may be not good at negotiating in
26、person. D. Students are brought up self-centered. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Students Unhappy Life in University B. Parents Attentio n in Childrens LifeC. Students Failure to Deal with Conflicts D. Teachers Concerns about StudentsDMany people have bought insu
27、rance(保险), either life or property (财产), commercial or compulsory. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can
28、be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a
29、pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who managethe pool of contributionsas insu
30、rers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the
31、risk or event insured against actually happens.The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the ot
32、her hand, if they make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.12. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means _.A. money paid b
33、y the insurers B. The amount of each premium(保险费)C. money paid by all those insured D. the cost of administering insurance13. Insurance premiums do not become too high because _.A. not many people insure themselves B. premiums depend on the risk of lossesC. insurers have to be more competitiveD. ins
34、urance companies can never lose money14. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because _.A. more and more people buy insuranceB. the firms have sound managementC. the premium is increased year by yearD. only a few of those insured suffer losses15. The purpose of the passage is to
35、 _.A. explain an insurance policyB. introduce insurance businessC. persuade people to be insuredD. warn people of possible losses 第二节(共5小题 每小题2分 满分10分) 根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables. 16 Make a study t

Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 17 Ideal(理想的)study times a
37、re after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity. 18 Youll also need to help your kids find the right place to study.
