C

What should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can’t make their own choices.

Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults. When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy. By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school. Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”. Now the child is up to almost all his / her decisions. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his / her parents.

Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work?

Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices, and then slowly make bigger and more important choices.

64. The first paragraph is written to tell the readers that Chinese kids ______.

       A. don’t know what to do                 B. always have many questions

       C. believe in their teachers and parents     D. depend on adults too much

65. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself?

       A. Ten.                    B. Twelve.           C. Thirteen.           D. Sixteen.

66. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

       A. American kids are more independent than Chinese kids.

       B. American kids will more easily adapt themselves to society.

       C. American parents don’t care for their children.

       D. A sixteen American youngster can drive his / her own car.

67. In the writer’s eyes, ______.

       A. dependence on adults is shameful in China

       B. independence from adults is worth encouraging

       C. kids have no ability to make a real choice

       D. making decisions is rather easy

64--67   DCCB  


解析:

64. D。第一段主要講了中國的孩子對(duì)成年人的依賴性太強(qiáng)。

65. C。根據(jù)第二段中的“Now the child is up to almost all his / her decisions.”可知。

66. C。美國的父母并非不關(guān)心孩子。和中國的父母相比，他們更重視對(duì)孩子的  獨(dú)立能力的培養(yǎng)。

67. B。從文章后兩段可以看出作者是鼓勵(lì)孩子獨(dú)立的。

科目：高中英語 來源：2009年普通高等學(xué)校招生全國統(tǒng)一考試湖北卷英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities （設(shè)施） for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （樣品）; they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation （朝向）,”Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
【小題1】How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?

A．They lost balance in excitement.B．They showed strong disbelief.
C．They expressed little interest.D．They burst into cheers.
【小題2】Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A．Assessment — Prototype — Design — Construction.
B．Assessment — Design — Prototype — Construction.
C．Design — Assessment — Prototype — Construction.
D．Design — Prototype — Assessment — Construction.
【小題3】What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?
A．The large size.B．Limited facilities.
C．The desert climate.D．Poor natural resources.
【小題4】What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?
A．They are questionable.B．They are out of date.
C．They are advanced.D．They are practical.
