三、 阅读理解(A、B两篇每小题2分，C篇每小题1分，满分25分)
A
Most children don't want their parents to go to their schools and they don't like parent－teacher meetings. They are afraid of their parents. But sometimes they do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank(打屁股) children. When a parent spanks a child, he/she will use his/her hand or something hard to strike the child on the bottom. The parents want to show their children that they have done something wrong.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches children to hit someone when they do not like what he/she is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that spanking is OK. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts(法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Taking a more child－friendly way can help as well. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried.
( )31. According to the passage, one thing that parents usually do before they punish their children is to ________.
A. strike them on the bottom
B. try to help them do the right thing
C. teach them what to do
D. take them to courts
( )32. Most children are afraid of their parents, ________.
A. so they don't like their parents
B. so they never do something bad
C. but sometimes they do what their parents tell them not to do
D. but they try to help their parents
( )33. Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking
A. It teaches children to hit someone when they don't like what he/she is doing.
B. The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
C. Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
D. It makes parents try other ways to help children do the right thing.
( )34. What is the writer's attitude(态度) towards spanking
A. He agrees with it.
B. He is interested in it.
C. He doesn't care about it.
D. He is against it.
( )35. From this passage, we can know that ________.
A. good children always do the right thing
B. right ways should be used when parents try to teach their children a lesson
C. parents should not punish their children
D. parents should tell their children what to do
B
“Polly wants to eat a cracker(饼干)！”
You may have heard a bird on television, in a movie, or in real life say these words. Does the bird really want to eat a cracker The answer is yes...and no. Polly probably will eat a cracker, but what she really wants is some attention.
Certain kinds of birds are excellent talkers. They like to copy the sounds they hear around them. They also like the attention that people give them when they talk.
Many wild birds have the ability to mimic or copy sounds. Crows(乌鸦), jays(松鸦), and starlings(八哥) all can do it. But these birds seldom make good pets because they need lots of room, and they are not often comfortable around people.
Some pet birds, such as parrots, can be great talkers. Among the large parrots, the best talkers are African Grey Parrots and Amazonas.
One should remember that a certain kind of bird can talk does not mean it will talk. Each bird has a different personality. Some birds never learn to talk. Some may learn only a few words or sounds. Others seem to learn a large vocabulary easily.
Although each bird is different, younger birds are more likely to learn to talk than older birds. Also, male birds are usually better talkers than females. However, if you teach a bird to whistle(吹口哨) before it learns to talk, it may never learn to talk. This might be because whistling is easier for the bird.
( )36. According to the passage, a bird is more likely to learn a word if ________.
A. it listens to another bird
B. it learns how to whistle first
C. it hears the word many times
D. it knows what the word means
( )37. In this passage, the underlined word “mimic” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 模仿 B. 戏弄
C. 照样子画 D. 呈现……的形象
( )38. Which of these birds can be pet birds in this passage
A. Crows. B. Jays.
C. Starlings. D. Parrots.
( )39. How many kinds of birds are talking birds in this passage
A. 3. B. 4.
C. 5. D. 6.
( )40. According to the passage, which of these birds will most likely learn to talk
A. An old male bird.
B. A young male bird.
C. An old female bird.
D. A young female bird.
C
Once there was a famine(饥荒) in the town. A rich and kind baker(面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket, there is some bread for you. Each of you can have one loaf(一条面包) every day until the hard days end.”
The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorly－dressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance. When the other children left, she took the smallest loaf left in the basket, kissed the gentleman's hand and went home.
The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said, “Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have got into the loaf by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick！”
But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message, he said, “No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home, and the money is yours now.”
( )41. From the story, we know the twenty children lived a ________ life.
A. happy B. poor
C. rich D. comfortable
( )42. The rich baker gave ________ to the children.
A. some bananas B. some books
C. some clothes D. some bread

六、 任务型阅读(每小题2分，满分20分)

Getting recognition(认可)from National Geographic, a famous US magazine, is the dream for many photographers. A Chinese teenage photographer has made this dream come true.
With his work Weed(野草) on the Wall, Gong Zijie, a 14－year－old boy from Changsha, Hunan, won the 2014 International Photography Competition for Kids in China. It was hosted by National Geographic Kids. Gong got the first place for the subject “Wild Vacation”. His photo shows the shadow of a weed on the Forbidden City's red walls. In photographer Li Shaobai's words, “The picture is silent but powerful.”
Gong learned photography from his father, a professional photographer working for Hunan TV. Since the age of 4, he has been following his father to take pictures of nature and society.
Gong is a patient photographer. When he finds something amazing, he can spend hours waiting for the perfect time to catch the moment. In his first work, Gong took the beautiful view of the sunset near his hometown. It looked simple, but Gong worked for four days to take the best photo.
Now, the young photographer cares more about social(社会的) problems. In Gong's pictures of Liuyang River, hundreds of dead fish show us the deadly results of pollution. He has made up his mind to document polluted rivers at least once every year to make people pay more attention to environmental protection.
“Now photography is not only a hobby, but also a duty(责任) for me，” said Gong.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过 6·, 个词。
66. What's the name of the photo that helped Gong Zijie get the first place
________________________________________________________________________
67. What does photographer Li Shaobai think of Gong's work
________________________________________________________________________
68. From whom did Gong learn photography

69. What does the writer want to tell us about Gong in Paragraph 4

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra－course activities where they will learn either a musical instrument(乐器) or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children are short of self－respect and self－confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple－choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully step by step. His result, a well－cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self－confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激发) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are teaching a child not only to read a book, but also to think and to use his mind. And that is more important.
根据文章内容填空。
71. According to the passage, Chinese are very generous when they begin to educate their children. Many Chinese parents never ________________ the money in educating ________________．
72. Chinese parents believe that the result will be ________________ if more money is spent on education. They also believe that their children can ________________ in life if they take extra－course activities.
