AProduced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities (名人)from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013,Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China’s most popular show, aver aging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.” But what accounts for the show’s popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek(窥探) into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive."Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture," said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. In a society still influenced by the concept that “men rule outside and women inside.”, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usually, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isn’t justone way to raise a child. But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.26. The second paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the show’s successB. the reason for the show’s successC. the China Daily’s praiseD. deep affection between fathers and their kids27. The chief function of “But what accounts for the show’s popularity?”(in Paragraph 2) is _____.A. to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB. to introduce a new topicC. to arouse reader’s interestD. to express strong feelings28. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Traditionally, children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B. The role of fathers is changing in China.C. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.D. More and more mothers go out to work.29. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A. People are curious about celebrities’ life and their kids.B. The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C. The show displays various parenting styles.D. The audience think highly of the celebrities’ parenting styles on the show.30. What is the best title of the passage?A. The great success of Where Are We Going, Dad?B. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad so popular ?C. What is the role of fathers in today’s China?D. Various parenting styles in ChinaBFoxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs attempt to stop the hunt by misleadin g riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament(议会), Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.31. Why are foxes considered as harmful animals?A. Because they can’t get on well with farmers.B. Because they are very cruel.C. Because they are shot by hunters.D. Because they kill farm animals.32. British hunters have been hunting foxes_________.A. for recreationB. for the benefit of the farmersC. to limit the fox populationD. to show off their wealth33. How do fox hunting saboteurs often prevent foxes being hunted?A. By means of violence.B. By confusing the fox hunters.C. By taking illegal action.D. By making laws.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Only the rich can be regular fox hunters.B. Hunters kill foxes by shooting or poisoning them.C. Hunting foxes has some rules to follow.D. More and more British people object to fox hunting.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Mike Foster is a firm supporter of fox hunting.B. Fox hunters and saboteurs seldom have conflicts nowadays.C. The law to ban hunting wild animals will be passed in Britain this year.D. As a sport, fox hunting may disappear in Britain in the future.CSituated at the gate to the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute, a government-run orphanage, the baby hatch ---also known as a babies' safety island --- allows desperate parents to leave unwanted newborns, press an alarm button, and depart anonymously. After a delay of about five minutes, someone from the institute will arrive to get the child.But facilities(设施) such as this have been under fire recently. While some people have approved of the idea, saying it protects the lives of unwanted children; critics argue that it encourages the immoral to abandon such babies, which is illegal in China.It's difficult to obtain statistics about the number of abandoned children in China, but the 2010 China Child Welfare Policy Report, released by the China Philanthropy Research Institute, estimated that 100,000 babies are abandoned every year, most of them with disabilities and illnesses. In July ,2013, when the Ministry of Civil Affairs launched a pilot project to set up baby hatches across China, Tianjin was one of the first cities to launch a facility and there were 24 baby hatches in 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions(地区). A further 18 regions are preparing to open facilities by the end of this year, according to the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption.“The baby hatch guards an unwanted baby from harm and increases its chances of survival,” said Xu Shuming, who is in charge of the reception of unwanted children and their following adoption at the Tianjin Children's Welfare Institute, is also in favor of the project. "Before the baby hatchcame into use, the babies we took in were usually brought by the police. They had been found at bus stations, public rest rooms, or parks; it could be anywhere. One baby we received last year was almost frozen to death," she said. “For our part, we hope parents will leave more information with their unwanted babies, such as medical records so that we can understand the real situation, avoid repeated medical checkups, and save time,” Xu said.36. A baby hatch is a place where .A. parents can leave their baby for some timeB. unwanted newborns can be left.C. unhealthy babies can be treated free of chargeD. the chances of babies’ survival can be increased37. The underlined phrase “under fire” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A. ignoredB. attackedC. supportedD. discussed38．Why some people are against the baby hatch?A. Because it encourages parents to abandon the unwanted babies.B. Because it is illegal to abandon a baby in China.C. Because it wastes an amount of money.D. Because it protects unwanted babies.39. According to passage, we know ____________.A. All the people approve of the baby hatch.B. It's easy to figure out exactly the number of abandoned children in ChinaC. Most of the unwanted babies are in poor conditionD. There will be 42 baby hatches in China at the end of this year40. We can infer from the passage .A. Parents usually leave little information in case that they are found out.B. Less and less unwanted babies are abandoned in ChinaC. The police used to take charge of attending abandoned babiesD. The information left by parents may be of great help to protect unwanted babiesDResearchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes. "Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. "Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues（线索）with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits（特质）detected in the study include a person's general age, income, political tendency, and other personality traits, including someone's emotional stability. Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, what do your shoes say about your personality? Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people. However, some of the more specific results are interesting. Forexample, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "friendly" people, while ankle boots were more closely connected with "aggressive" personalities. The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety,” spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appearance. There was even a political calcula tion in the mix with wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.41. By looking at a person’s shoes, it’s possible for people to___________.A. know the wearer thoroughlyB. estimate the wearer’s characterC. have exact cues about the wearer’s social statusD. judge the wearer’s educational background42. Which statement is Not true according to the passage?A. In the study, people’s personality traits were detected.B. In the study, participants wore 208 different shoes.C. In the study, 63 students were asked to fill out questionnaire about personality.D. In the study, judgments were made according to various characteristics of people’s shoes.43. What can we know about the passage?A. Wealthy people favor shiny shoes.B. Calm people prefer shoes with uncomfortable appearance.C. Friendly people are likely to wear ankle boots.D. Outgoing people always wear shoes with practical functions.44. Taking exceptional care of new shoes shows that ____________.A. the owners care much about others’ opinions on their appearanceB. the owners are in a relaxed stateC. the owners are particular about their appearanceD. the owners have too many shoes to choose from45. What is the best title of the passage?A. How To Choose Suitable ShoesB. How To Judge People’s Personality TraitsC. People Are What They WearD.
