For example, it is right to be kind to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 16 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.Rules can help the public make the right 17 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 18 .If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be19 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 20 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into trouble.Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 21 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is cruel to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 22 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel 23 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is starving. Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to _ 24 others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones --- so who is to _25__ what is right?16.

D. Salinger: A Life by Kenneth Slawenski (Random House, $27)Mystery“You’re a smart boy. Benny’s death was no accident, and you’re the only who saw it happen. Do you think the murderer should get away with it?” The boy was starting stubbornly at his lap again. A thought suddenly occurred to Annika, “Did you… You recognized the man in the car, didn’t you?” The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers, “Maybe,” he said quietly.Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (Atria Books, $25. 99)Short StoriesShe wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class. Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good. Some women are born to give, and some women only know how to take. Some women learn who they want to be from their mothers, some who they don’t want to be. Some mothers suffer so their daughters won’t. Some mothers love so their daughters won’t.You Are Free by Danzy Senna (Riverhead Books,$15)HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times! Do you like to watch your kids having fun?

Annika carried out the crimeBThree Boys and a DadBrad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”---Mike, Randy, and Alex---came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seco nds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.L ife became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someo ne named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre. “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.30. When his wife left home. Brad expected to .A. go out for a walk in the parkB. watch TV talk show with his childrenC. enjoy his first day off workD. read the newspaper to his children31. Which of the following did Randy do? A. Drawing on the wall B. Eating apple jam C. Feeding the fish. D. Reading in a room 32. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A. Because he wanted to clean up his house in the afternoon.B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.D. Because he had to take his wife back at that time 33. This text is developed . A. by space B. by comparison C. by process D. by timeC“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant ge sture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and ever yone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Somet imes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.34. How does the author understand Maxie’s words? A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day. C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.35.

What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day --- a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day --- a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day --- a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day --- a Polite Ending of a ConversationDHow is it that siblings can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-bo rns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.?A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.38. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means “”.A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families39. In terms of language development, later-borns .A. get their parents’ individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly40. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.三、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
