Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭雜務(wù)), such as sweeping the floor, emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash and so on. 【1】

Paying kids for chores is one of the most hotly debated parenting topics, especially at a time where everyone is more concerned about their finances. The logic behind tying allowances to chores is clear. 【2】 So they should pay kids to do their jobs.

【3】 Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort.” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”

【4】 They believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “ 【5】 ”

A. Many people hold the view.

B. In exchange, they get some pocket money or other rewards.

C. Other people think differently.

D. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.

E. Grown-ups get paid to do their jobs.

F. Kids need positive reinforcement（強(qiáng)化）to help motivate them.

G. Pay kids is sending a bad message.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】E

【3】D

【4】C

【5】F

【解析】

試題分析:文章主要說明了對給孩子獎賞作為對他們做家務(wù)的報(bào)酬，不同的人有不同的看法。

【1】B考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下文Paying kids for chores可知這里說家長給孩子們報(bào)酬作為做家務(wù)的酬勞，能夠起總領(lǐng)下文作用，所以B. In exchange, they get some pocket money or other rewards.“作為回報(bào)，家長給孩子們零花錢或者其他獎勵”符合，故選B。

【2】E考查句意理解和上下文串。聯(lián)上文提到給孩子們報(bào)酬作為他們做家務(wù)的酬勞是有邏輯的，所以E.選項(xiàng)Grown-ups get paid to do their jobs.“成人工作可以得到報(bào)酬”，因而他們也應(yīng)該付錢給做家務(wù)的孩子，故選E。

【3】D考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下文Susie Walton的觀點(diǎn)可知他覺得每個人都是家里的一份子，都有責(zé)任做家務(wù)，可見他不覺得孩子們應(yīng)該為做家務(wù)得到獎賞，所以D. 選項(xiàng)But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores.符合，故選D。

【4】C考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下文提到有人覺得報(bào)酬可以鼓勵孩子做家務(wù)，并且教會他們我們需要工作賺錢，所以 選項(xiàng). Other people think differently“有些人不這么覺得”可以承上啟下，故選C。

【5】F考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)。 根據(jù)上文Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards“我們的目標(biāo)是鼓勵孩子獲得獎勵”可知 F. Kids need positive reinforcement（強(qiáng)化）to help motivate them.“孩子們需要積極的強(qiáng)化去鼓勵他們”能夠進(jìn)一步解釋說明，故選F。

My brother used to ask me question whenever he did his homework, that made me annoyed. But every time he accepted my explanations I feel that I was the smartest person in the world. Answered his questions, I always liked to say that he was so stupid to solve such simple problems.

Last week both of them got the report cards from our school. Unexpectedly, I got a lot of Bs, though he got As. To make things worse, all that day my brother screamed how foolish it was for me not to ask questions! I could say nothing but admit that he was right. I have never made a fun of him since then.

We all knew we can’t live on our own. A lot of things are very important in our lives, such as animals which are usual considered as one of the most essential part. They help us in many ways except providing their meat for us and making our diet variously. Moreover, people get much fun and pleasure when lived with them. In my opinion, how the animals give us may be more than the things we do for them, but they are our great and honest friends. So in the return, we should do our best protect them because we can not live without them.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails（指甲）carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub (浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect (消毒) the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs (細(xì)菌) that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned (被拋棄的) animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。

What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s cathedral to widen the road,or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It’d be ridiculous,right? But when it comes to devastation(毀滅)of the natural world,we aren’t so easily shocked.But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble!

Nature is shrinking by the day.Ancient forests are destroyed.Wetlands are becoming dry.Woodland is disappearing,all in the name of progress.This is bad in itself,but it’s devastating for biodiversity.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants,animals and other living things which are all inter-connected.The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life.The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis(光合作用)by green plants.In fact,all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity.More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species.And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals.Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.

The loss of biodiversity could be devastating.“It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O Wilson,known as “the father of biodiversity”.He warned,“We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”

But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague.People might care about giant pandas,but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines.The Guardian newspaper is trying to help.It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity.This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to change the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes in Australia,among many other things.

There is a lot to do.And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!

【1】What does the author think of pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park?

A.Unreasonable. B.Necessary.

C.Difficult. D.Urgent.

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Nature is badly polluted by humans.

B.Species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day.

C.Rainforests are being cut down every day.

D.Nature is full of mysteries to humans.

【3】Edward O Wilson believes that .

A.it doesn’t matter to decrease the biodiversity

B.people have done enough to preserve biodiversity

C.the situation of biodiversity is very serious

D.biodiversity loss has been unavoidable

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Plenty of marine reserves have been set up in the world.

B.Fishing sharks is illegal around the world.

C.It’s harmful to catch tiny organisms in the river.

D.The Guardian newspaper has done a lot for biodiversity.

Windmills(風(fēng)車)dot the landscape,producing a renewable energy source.Our pioneer ancestors established windmills as a means of bringing water to the surface.To tell the truth,the history of wind energy is very long.Since early recorded history,people have been harnessing the energy of the wind.Wind energy drove boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 BC.By 200 BC,simple windmills in China were pumping water,while well-designed windmills were grinding(磨)grain in Persia and the Middle East.

New innovations and curiosity helped spread interest in windmills and wind power.Middle Eastern citizens used them for food production by the 11th century.Merchants along trade routes returned to Europe and shared the idea.Windmills caught on,especially in Holland,and the Dutch improved their use.Here,windmills drained lakes and other bodies of water.In France,the windmill pumped irrigation water.Elsewhere in Europe,windmills were used to grind grain.

By the 19th century,settlers in the United States realized the importance of the simple windmill.Pioneers pumped water for livestock(牲畜)and farming.As estimated six million windmills dotted America’s landscape by the end of the 1880s.Charles Brush,the US inventor,invented a windmill capable of producing electricity in 1888.And now the machines are called wind turbines.As late as the 1920s,Americans used small windmills to provide electricity in rural areas without electric service.When power lines began to transport electricity to rural areas in the 1930s,local windmills were used less and less,though they can still be seen on some Western farms.

In the 1970s,oil shortages pushed the development of alternative energy sources,paving the way for the re-entry of the windmill to produce electricity.In the early 1980s,wind energy really took off in California,partly because of State policies that encouraged renewable energy sources.In the 1990s,the push came from a renewed concern for the environment in response to scientific studies indicating potential changes to the global climate if the use of fossil fuels continues to increase.Wind energy is an economical power resource in many areas of the country.

Wind energy isn’t a new phenomenon,but using wind turbines to create and use electricity is a trend that continues to sweep across the globe.

【1】The underlined word “harnessing” in Paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to “ ”.

A.having influence on

B.controlling and using

C.talking about and studying

D.showing interest in

【2】As for the application of windmills,Europe .

A.became well-known all over the world first

B.first began food production

C.increased trade activities with other places

D.followed the example of the Middle East

【3】According to the passage,Charles Brush .

A.created the first electricity-producing machine in the world

B.first used windmills in the US

C.was a pioneer in producing electricity from wind

D.improved the economic strength in rural areas of the US

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.The importance of wind power

B.How does wind energy work?

C.The history of wind energy

D.When was wind power first used?
