9．Ted，my little brother，is in Grade One．Last Friday he came back from school with a letter．The letter was from his teacher．"I got a red flower today．Could you please sign簽字 this note？"he said to Mum．The note showed that he had been talking in class．
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work．The best he gets is"OK"，but often he gets"You can do better than this．"Mum knows what it means．She tells me"You can do better than this"means"Extremely bad"in China．
In the USA，teachers never say anything too bad about their students，even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough．The worst they might say is"Please be nicer tomorrow"．Many parents are satisfied with對---滿意 a B-grade for each subject．
But things in Chinese schools are quite different．Parents have high expectations for their children．I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA!Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough．
Is it too strict in China？Or is it not strict enough in the USA？Maybe both are true．

56．Why did Ted come home with．a(chǎn) letter last Friday？B
A．Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother．
B．Because he did something wrong．
C．Because the teacher was happy with his progress．
D．Because the teacher thought he was too lazy．
57．If a student in the USA gets"OK"in his school work，it meansB．
A．he gets top scores
B．he gets medium scores
C．he gets extremely bad scores
D．he gets the worst scores
58．American parents will beD when their children get a B-grade in their school．
A．excited    
B．sad  
C．a(chǎn)ngry    
D．happy
59．The underlined words"high expectations"in this passage meansC．
A．很高的待遇  
B．很多的自由 
C．很高的期望    
D．很多的關(guān)愛
60．The writer mainly wants to tell usA．
A．the differences between Chinese education and American education
B．Chinese students are better than American students
C．American parents are not strict enough with their children
D．what the best way to educate children is．

分析 我的弟弟泰德讀一年級．上周五他從學(xué)�；丶�?guī)е环庑牛艁碜运睦蠋煟┑潞蛬寢屨f："我今天得了一朵紅花，你能在這記錄上簽字嗎"記錄上寫著他在課堂上說話．
泰德很少功課上得高分．最好的是"OK"，但是他經(jīng)常得到的是："你能比這次做的更好．"媽媽知道那是什么意思，她告訴我："你能比這次做的更好．"在中國意味著："很差．"
在美國，老師從不說有關(guān)學(xué)生的太差的話，即使學(xué)生在課堂上制造麻煩或者不夠努力．最糟的可能是說："請明天好一點"許多家長對每一科是B很滿意．
但是中國學(xué)校不同，父母對孩子有很高的期望．我有時感覺我二年級的表弟在學(xué)習(xí)上花的時間比我在美國六年級花的時間多，然而他的父母和老師還認為他不夠努力．
在中國是不是太嚴格？或者是美國不夠嚴格？也許兩個都是正確的．

解答 56：答案：B．細節(jié)理解題．分析原句：The note showed that he had been talking in class．句意：信箋上寫著，他已經(jīng)在課堂上說話了．結(jié)合上文得知，他在學(xué)校做了錯事，那就是在課堂亂說話．故選B
57：答案：B．推理理解題．分析原句：Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work．The best he gets is"OK"．他得到最好的評語是"OK"．聯(lián)系下文，因為他的表現(xiàn)不好，所以他經(jīng)常得到的是"你能做的比這次好．"因此體現(xiàn)當(dāng)學(xué)生在學(xué)校成績中等的時候，評語為OK．故選 B
58：答案：D．細節(jié)理解題．分析原句：Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject．句意：孩子在學(xué)校得了B成績，許多家長是滿意的．與滿意相近的詞匯為happy．故選D
59：答案：C．詞語理解題．分析原文：But things in Chinese schools are quite different．Parents have high expectations for their children．句意：但是，事情在中國的學(xué)校有很大的不同．同時結(jié)合實際情況，中國的父母對孩子的期望很高．因此劃線部分為很高有期望．故選C
60：答案：A．主旨大意題．分析文章的中心句：Is it too strict in China？Or is it not strict enough in the USA？Maybe both are true．句意：中國的教育太嚴嗎？還是美國的教育不嚴？可能兩者都是正確的．從中心句中得出結(jié)論，重點在介紹中國與美國的教育上有所不同．故選A

16．Many people travel to different places in the world by air．Usually it takes a long time，perhaps half a day，for passengers to stay in the plane．So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food．But it is common that they feel bad about food taste．Do you agree？
To solve this problem，airlines try hard to improve their food．They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers．
However，according to scientific research，part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground．Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off．As the plane moves up，the change in air  pressure（氣壓）reduces one third of the sensibility（感覺）of our taste buds（味蕾）．So our taste buds become senseless．The sad face，however，is that our noses don't know it．
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad．They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food．Without doing so，the food would be tasteless．
Now there are many researches on this．According to one of them，some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks．And scientists write down their feelings about food taste．
Though scientists try their best，it is not as easy as they thought．Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully，such as the change in air pressure，making food taste good is still hard for them．

61．In Paragraph 2，"this problem"meansB．
A．passengers stay long in the plane
B．food on the plane tastes bad
C．passengers have no food to eat
D．food on the plane is expensive
62．What do airlines do to solve this problem？C
A．Get more customers．
B．Offer more food．
C．Improve their food．
D．Reduce the ticket price．
63．As the plane moves up，the change in air pressure reducesB of the sensibility of our taste buds．
A．half         
B．one third
C．one fourth   
D．one fifth
64．Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good？D
A．The volunteers don't know about food taste．
B．The volunteers don't understand them．
C．They can't find enough volunteers．
D．They can't deal with the special environment successfully．
65．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Taste of Airplane Food
B．Airplane Travel
C．Scientific Research on Noses
D．The Change in Air Pressure．
