AAlmost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally.Ithen began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the ageof 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 in ches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’ t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeingresults without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program:estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eatand move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. Isoon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. Mymother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twentypounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and takeevening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought aWeight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trickmyself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It ’ s beenhard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desirefor strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’ s all worthwhile.21． The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________ ．A ．by walking and eating less every dayB ． by only eating fruits and vegetablesC． with the help of her motherD ． under her doctor’ s direction22． What is the third paragraph mainly about?A ．How to prepare healthy food ．B ．What the author does to keep healthy ．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit ．D ．The ways of eating less food ．23． We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________ ．A ．likes strawberries mostB ． finds keeping a healthy diet easyC．can ’ t resist chocolate D ．has formed healthy eating habitsBOne of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. Hemade the rock’ n’ roll music popular all over the world. He sold millions of records and mademany successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s. ElvisPresley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country peoplewho often took him to church ,where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs thathe used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attendedhigh school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing inthe style that is called“ country and western”.In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother ’ s birthday. The people at the recording studioliked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little likethe music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called“ blues”.Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manger and arranged concerts forhim across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around thecountry. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tenderand King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success, Like many other famous people, he began to takedrugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions ofhis fans were shocked,“ The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and will always be remembered as the King of Rock’ n’ roll.24.From the passage, we can see ____________.A. the church songs didn’ t help Elvis develop his own style.B. .

Parent volunteers, if available, can do a lot of help.Teachers can benefit from such help. New books can be marked Computers can be turned onor shut off properly. Teaching equipment can be cleaned and stored away. The list of jobs thatparent volunteers can do is endless. Some schools even provide a coordinator( 协调者 ) to introducethese volunteers to teachers.It is important to make sure volunteers feel useful and are given a variety of tasks to do. When a volunteer realizes there is no real contribution to make, he or she will not come back. Sometimes being given too many boring repetitive tasks drives volunteers away, too.A teacher who wants to use the service of volunteers successfully should give time to the planning of tasks. Make a list of possible tasks for the volunteer to do. The tasks can be kept in a notebook. Information such as class schedule, names of students and school rules could also be included in the notebook. When the volunteer arrives, the teacher may not immediately have an opportunity to explain tasks. The volunteer can then check the notebook and pick a job on hisor her own decision.It is obvious that the class benefits from having adults. Children often behave better with the volunteer near them. Some volunteers work one-on-one with children or with small groups, helping children get needed attention. The volunteer can complete paper correcting or other tasks listed above, freeing the teacher for more teaching time.Meanwhile, parent volunteers do need to understand that any information about children is to remain confidential. They should be coached on appropriate methods in a school system. They especially need to be careful of what they say.28.The first two paragraphs imply that ________.A.teachers should ask parents for help in classB.parents are unavailable to teachers in most schoolsC.parent volunteers are really needed in schoolsD.being a parent volunteer is popular in many schools29.In order to keep parent volunteers interested, ________.A.tasks given to them should be considered carefullyB.teachers shouldn’ t give them premising tasksC.schools should pay them for their good servicesD.a coordinator is necessary in every school30.Why should a teacher list possible tasks in a notebook?A.Parent volunteers are interested in the tasks listed.B.It is necessary for parent volunteers to know all the tasks to do in classC.The teacher wants parent volunteers to choose jobs on their own.D..It is helpful for parents to get involved in their jobs quickly.31.Which of the following statements is True according to the text?A.Parents can enter any classroom if they like.B. Any information about children should be kept secret.C. Parent volunteers shouldn’ t ask for special training.D. Parent volunteers can help all children get needed attention.DChina has a long tradition of respecting education. But its present education is not thatrespectable.According to the Hurun Reported, which conducted one-on-one interviews with 980 wealthyChinese people with net assets of more than 60 million yuan($9.5 million) in 18 mainland citiesfrom May to September, about 14 percent of them said they had either already moved overseasor had applied to do so, and another 46 percent said they planned to emigrate within three years.All cited the higher-quality education available for their children overseas as the reason.Such a mindset has resulted in a growing number of Chinese students studying abroad.To befair, our primary and high schools are a leader in content throughout the world. The Program forInternational Student Assessment last year offered a feather in the cap for our education.Participating in the program administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment, teenagers in Shanghai were far in advance of their ages from 64 countries, includingthe United States, in reading literacy, mathematics and science.So why does education in this country leave so many wealthy parents cold?Children in China have no say in what they learn. They normally learn by rote(死记硬背) and areforced to study the subjects that help them in examinations for a school of a higher grade,especially the college entrance exams.Studies conducted by the China Youth and Children Research Center show that more thanhalf of Chinese Secondary school students study over time and they don ’ t get enough sleep. And more than 70 percent of the students in primary and middle schools take after-school tutoring classes, which is considered a heavy burden on children. And this situation turns many parentsinto devils like“ Wolf Father” Xiao Baiyou in Guangdong province, who supported his childrenlearning with verbal abuse and physical violence. Xiao doesn ’palet in comparison to Tiger Mother Amy Chua in the United States. He is satisfied with his parenting skills, as he has sent three of his four children to Peking University, one of China ’most influential hig her learning institutions.Such ways of stimulating children to learn are certainly scary enough to make those Chinese parents with deep pockets choose a foreign school for their kids.As long as exams-oriented education continues, parents will look overseas for a better way to educate their children.32. How many of the wealthy Chinese interviewed were in favor of moving overseas?A. 14% of them. B 32% of them. C. 46% of them. D. 60% of them.33. What does“ a feather in the cap most”inprobablyPara.4 mean?A.A hope.B. An escape.C. An honorD. A challenge.cation in China is criticized in this passage for the following weaknesses EXCEPT ___.A.Forcing children to take college entrance examsB.Burdening children with after-school tutoring classesC.Making children learn by rote memorizationD.Depriving children of sleep with too much study35. What is the authorA. Supportive’ s opinionof B. Satisfactory“ Wolf FatherC. Stimulating” and“ Tiger MotherD. Scary”parenting style?第二节(共 5小题; 每小题 2分, 满分 10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
