Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or homeschooling.Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a6musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.24.From the first paragraph, we can infer that _________.A. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsB. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demandsC. parents meet many challenges when raising their kidsD. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growth25.What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A. To train kids as early as possible.B. To try as many means as possible.7C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.D. To use as many available resources as possible.26.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.B. The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s health.D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.27.We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with _________.A. InspirationB. IntroductionC. SuggestionD. promotionCAt a talk to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, "Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he's going to use it to buy alcohol?" I replied, "If all was giving was money, it'll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that's just the wrapping (包装纸) . The real gift is hidden inside - it's love. And l haven't ever found any reasonto limit gifts of love "By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, "I'II have the full cheese pizza." "Full?" she countered. "It's really big:' she added, although what she really meant to say is that it'll be too expensive8for him. "Yeah, the full " "$18.65," she submitted. The bills he was counting weren't going to make it. I wasn't intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, l realized that money was really just the wrapping.I made my move. "Can you charge that pizza with my order" I said to the cashier. "Really T'the homeless-looking man said. "Really?" the young woman behind the counter repeated. "Yes,really." That disheveled man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I wasdoing it, l added, "Just pay it forward for someone else." And he said, "Well, you know what? I wasactually treating these five homeless guys out there." He was actually paying it forward, in the firstplace What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man's act of kindness. 28.

Money was just the wrappingDSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be10very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.32.The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________.A. show his opinionB. make complaintsC. bring up the topicD. criticize the local police33.The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.A. entertainmentB. quietnessC. freedomD. quality34.What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?A. Go back to China.B. Fight for their right.C. Ask America to change its law.D. Keep the noise lower.35.What’s the writer’s attitude towards senio r Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park?A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.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。
