20.As an English teacher,one of the most common problems I've found with my students is their lack of confidence with speaking,and difficulty in understanding native speakers.Another problem could be that a foreign language taught in schools can sound quite different to what native speakers actually use.
There are a few English words and expressions that I'd never heard until I came to China.The most common one in my experience is"How are you?I'm fine,thank you,and you?"
I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyday use-it's easy to learn and helps build confidence.However,it can be a hard habit to break.I've seen many parents correct their kids if they don't use that exact phrase,as if simply replying"I'm fine"would somehow be rude.In fact I'm banning my students from saying that in the classroom,insisting a simple"I'm fine,thanks"is good enough.
"Seldom"is another one that I find interesting.The first time a student told me"I seldom watch TV",my initial reaction was a stupefied look,followed by"Huh?"I then realized the student used"seldom"when it's more common for us to use"rarely."
I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC (water closet),another English term I'd never heard of back in Australia.Of course,my students know the other names for it like bathroom,toilet,washroom etc.so to prefer that name is an interesting choice.
I don't mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own,far from it.It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language,but with mine as well.It's healthy for English to evolve (進化) and change and I'm happy to add these new words to my vocabulary.
One important lesson I've learnt is that textbooks can only help you so much.For further improvement you'd better practice with native speakers.
61.What does the article mainly tell about?C
A.Learning English needs confidence.
B.Native speakers are hard to understand.
C.Chinese-English has something different.
D.Chinese students are more creative.
62.The problem with the reply"I'm fine,thank you,and you?"is that it isB.
A.too long to remember                 B.not popular with native speakers
C.sometimes misunderstood              D.considered impolite by native speakers
63.The writer mentioned parents correcting their kids to show that in ChinaB.
A.speaking English at home has become a habit
B.the exact reply has been trained into a habit
C.some parents are not qualified to teach English
D.children don't always obey their teachers
64.It's possible for us to hear an Australian say"WeDuse the term‘D'for a toilet."
A.seldom;  bathroom                    B.rarely;  washroom
C.seldom;  WC                      D.rarely;  WC
65.What is the writer's attitude towards his students using Chinese-English?A
A.He's tolerant
B.He's angry.
C.He feels uncomfortable
D.He pays no attention.

解答 CBBDA

61.C  主旨大意題.從全文來看,本文講述的是一名來自澳大利亞的英語老師,在中國教中國學生學習英語后,感覺中國學生的中式英語非常有趣,C項最全面.
62.B 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中"However,it can be a hard habit to break.I've seen many parents correct their kids if they don't use that exact phrase …"可知這個短語過于正式,日常生活中不會這樣使用,而是用更加簡潔的表達"Fine.Thanks."B項正確.
63.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)However,it can be a hard habit to break.可知這已經(jīng)訓練成了習慣表達,是很難改變的習慣,故答案為B.
64.D  細節(jié)理解題 I then realized the student used"seldom"when it's more common for us to use"rarely."和 I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC (water closet),可知答案為D
65.A 推理判斷題 根據(jù)最后一段I don't mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own,far from it.It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language,but with mine as well.It's healthy for English to evolve (進化) and change and I'm happy to add these new words to my vocabulary. 可知,他對中式英語這種現(xiàn)象是包容的,理解的,故答案為A

點評 1、要想做好科普英語閱讀理解題,同學們就要注意平時多讀科普知識類文章,學習科普知識,積累常見的科普詞匯,從根本上提高科普英語的閱讀能力.
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結構特點.科普類文章一般由標題(Head line),導語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結尾(End)五部分構成.標題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標題,而要同學們選擇標題.導語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導語概括的事實進行詳細敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學們要把這部分作為重點.結尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導語相呼應,命題者常在此要設計一道推理判斷題.  
3、在進行推理判斷時,同學們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學事實為依據(jù),同時所得出的結論還應符合基本的科普常識.

15.Public schools in Washington,D.C.provide students with musical instruments for free.When something goes wrong with an instrument,Charles West and Larry Jernigan  do the repairs.Both men approach their work with a passion(激情).For them,it's important that students have a joyful experience with music.
The two have worked together for almost 20years.This year alone,they've fixed about 450instruments.Both men are musicians and music lovers,so learning to do repairs came naturally.
"I have been a musician all my life."says West."I played in an orchestra here in the city.I majored in music in college.I played in an army band."
Jernigan's musical interests are varied."I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar.The alto sax,and the flute,I picked up while working here."
In addition to fixing instruments,the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own.
West believes if children start early and stay involved with music,it enriches other areas of their lives."I see that in other kids.I see it in myself.I have seen it hundreds of times and it works."he says."They learn teamwork.They learn patience and respect."
But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age."This instant age has taken away from the sit-down,the patience.And to learn to play an instrument,it takes patience,it takes diligence.It takes time."
Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job.Both men agree their best rewards are the students'performances.

36.What's the job of West and Jernigan at school?D
A.Teaching music.
B.Writing music
C.Making musical instruments
D.Repairing musical instruments.
37.They love the job because they canC.
A.earn more money    B.1earn repair skills
C.enjoy music        D.watch performances
38.Which of the following is true of the two men?B
A.They have fixed 450instruments in the past 20years
B.They can play and repair musical instruments.
C.Jernigan used to play in all army band.
D.West was trained to play the piano.
39.According to West,what can people learn from music?A
A.Teamwork and patience.    B.The value of time.
C.The truth of society.     D.Diligence and confidence
40.What is mainly talked about in the text?D
A.How to repair musical instruments.
B.Learning experiences of two repairmen.
C.How to prepare a musical performance.
D.The enjoyable job of two music lovers.

5.Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips.But in this age of BlackBerrys,recession pressures,working at home after hours and on weekends,family time may not be working out the way we thought.
    Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are Finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.
    A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of"quality time,"researchers say."Personally,just given the life I lead,I think there is something to this idea of quality time-spending productive time with children vs.just being around,"says Peter Brandon,a professor at Carleton College.He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than"passive monitoring,"such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.
"This time with children pays off,"Brandon says.He notes that good parent-child relationships result in children being happier and more successful,including at school.
As parents struggle to be more availabie to their kids,new research on work and family  schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents'availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce.Although parents today may be spending more time on child care,they are less available overall.
     Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them,vs.doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves,Brandon says"The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,"he says"You're taking away time from other things".
71.The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us thatD.
   A.technology lets parents work at home
   B.parents are satisfied with their work
   C.technology makes our lives much easier
   D.the family time is not always satisfying
72.We can learn from the third paragraph thatA.
   A.some families are not experiencing quality time
   B.it's enough for parents to stay with their children
   C.parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities
   D.working hours at home can transform into quality time
73.According to Brandon,the quality time meansC
   A.just,being around with children
   B.work time is separate from family time
   C.spending instructive time with children
   D.letting the children do whatever they want to do
74.The underlined sentence"This time with children pays"off meansC
   A.the time with children is of little value
   B.the time with children costs quite a lot
   C.the time with children leads to good result
   D.the time with children has a bad effect on them
75.What will the author most probably talk about in next part of the passage?D
   A.How to spend more time at home
   B.How to do the dishes in a proper way..
   C.How to spend more time on working at home.
   D.How to take away time in a much proper way.

12.Boys need friends,suffer when they don't believe they have any,and worry over the ups and downs of relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do,in truth,though,no boy is an island:boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.
Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships,most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives,and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are.A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls'friendships are actually more fragile(脆弱的).Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys,and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.
Boys are the living definition of the phrase"peer group":they love games with rules,competition,and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy,even need the opportunity to test themselves against others,and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court.Competence and skill are widely respected:being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (縈繞心頭) a boy for years.
As boys mature,the friendship becomes even more important,and it frequently widens to include girls.During the teen years,friends can become the most important part of a boy's life---and a part in which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is"always there for me",someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study,but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.
 
31.The common belief of adults is that boysB.
A.don't care about others as much as girls    
B.don't value friendships as much as girls
C.have the same friendship as girls         
D.have healthier friendship than girls
32.According to the passage,A.
A.boys usually build friendships by playing competitive games
B.boys like to have small groups of friends
C.boys'friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt
D.boys'friendships can hardly end in failure
33.The author mentions the study in Para.2 to proveC.
A.girls value relationships more than boys
B.most boys consider their friends very important
C.boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls
D.boys may be more active in a friendship
34.As a boy gets older,he tends toC.
A.widen his circle of friends to include his parents
B.shift his focus from his friends to himself
C.leave his parents out of his friends
D.be confused about what a friendship is
35.What's the best title of the passage?B
A.Friendships Between Boys and Girls        
B.Boys and Their Friendship
C.Childhood and Adolescent Friendship       
D.Tips on Making Friends with Boys.
