What if you could give your children everything they wanted without them having to take any effort at all to get it？Would they appreciate what they now have？Would they know how to even maintain the lifestyle or how to keep the business moving forward and not downward
There is some debate among parents of this new generation about the question of whether our children have been given so much that they now expect everything all at once.A case in point is a friend of mine who has a son in his late twenties.It is not that he doesn’t have a good paying job and a really nice house.Actually his house is a lot better and bigger than I ever had at his age.But，he is not satisfied with what he has；he wants everything else right now，not tomorrow，but right now.
What he wants is a bigger house，a fancier car，and all the newest gadgets(小玩意) that come on the market.He never thinks he should work a little longer and save his money or that he shouldn’t have it all.Maybe we have spoiled our children to expect more than what they should normally expect and then expect all of these worldly possessions to keep coming their way.
Now，the situation with my friend’s son is one where his son calls him and complains that life is difficult and that he is having a hard time getting what he wants.The discussion usually then turns to waiting a little longer and working to save money but this discussion usually ends with his son still being disappointed with his life.
Each life must come from work，sacrifice and satisfaction of being able to provide for your family，but there is little room for just wanting when waiting，working and patience could get it done.
All of us need a bit of hardship，struggle，learning to overcome obstacles，understanding perseverance，and developing an attitude that speaks loudly about accepting responsibility for one’s own destiny.
24．The writing method of the passage is .
A．listing facts
B．giving an example
C．explaining reasons
D．making comparisons
25．When given so much by his parents，the boy may .
A．live a happier life
B．learn to be independent
C．never be satisfied with it
D．be grateful for his parents

A．the result of parents’ spoiling their children
B．the way for parents to prepare for a better life
C．the advice for parents on how to raise their children
D．the solution for parents to solving their family issues
27．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．What our life offers us.
B．What we should do for our family.
C．How we should gain what we desire.
D．How we should prepare for our destiny.

The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long distance trade route of the ancient world.This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East，and allowed the exchange of goods，technology，and ideas between the two civilizations.Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road，it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an)，the early Han capital.Travellers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces.After this，they would face the Gobi Desert，arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert，the largest desert in Asia，consists mainly of rocky，hard earth.This feature made it easier for traders to travel across，compared to sandy deserts like the neighbouring Taklamakan Desert.Like other deserts，the Gobi Desert is dry and hot，and therefore the biggest challenge travellers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So，rest stops were created along the route，allowing travellers to rest，eat and drink.These places also promoted the exchange of goods，and even ideas，amongst the travellers who stopped there.Usually，the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other.In this way，travellers could avoid spending too much time in the desert，which would make them targets for robbers，another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert，travellers would continue their journey into Iran，Turkey，and finally Europe.Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous，it is not entirely without its perils.
28．The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to “ ”．
A．making huge profits
B．travelling the Silk Road
C．exchanging goods and ideas
D．connecting different civilizations
29．Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts
A．The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B．Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C．It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D．There were more natural water sources available.
30．What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert
A．Travellers were offered free accommodation.
B．They were located around the edges of the desert.
C．Travellers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D．They were shared by travellers from different countries.
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．The origins of the Silk Road.
B．The benefits of the Silk Road.
C．The difficulties faced by Silk Road travellers.
D．The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travellers.
D
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners，but a good sense.It takes the most cool headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers can’t even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give and take(互谅互让)from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
32．The passage mainly talks about .
A．traffic jams
B．good manners
C．road politeness
D．modern drivers
33．Troubles on the road are often caused by .
A．traffic jams
B．the behavior of the drivers
C．the great speed of modern life
D．terrible road conditions
34．According to the writer，a good driver should .
A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to
B．beat back when forced to face rude driving
C．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
D．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel
35．It is not always right for drivers to .
A．master the roadmanship
B．neglect politeness when they see it
C．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

Sacrificing Sleep to Get Top Grades Doesn’t Work
Sacrificing sleep and skipping meals to study in looking for academic excellence actually doesn’t work，a new Harvard study has revealed recently. 36 .They usually like getting less sleep or adopting poor eating habits，in a search for top grades.But the new study of 4,000 British teenagers shows those who display determination，courage and persistence also tend to have healthier lifestyles.

Dr Christina Hinton，a research member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education，said，“ 40 ，but rather cultivating healthy emotional regulation skills and effective learning strategies.Our results suggest.”

Rebecca stretched her tired back.“That’s the last seedling(树苗)，Pa.Have we planted enough？” Pa walked to the end of the row of cottonwood seedlings.“No，” he said.“We have to plant trees all the way to that rock over there.We’ll need about twenty more seedlings.”
“I’ll get the seedlings，” offered Rebecca.She longed to cool her feet in the shallow river running through the cotton field.“You’d better let me go，” teased her twin brother，William.“There are dangers all over this prairie(牧场)．You may both go，” said Pa.
They went across the shallow river to a sandbar where small cottonwood seedlings grew.Gently，they pulled the seedlings from the sand.“There! That’s twenty，with a few to spare.” said Rebecca.“OK，” said William.He led the way to the riverbank，then stopped.
“Look! There’s the dugout(防空壕)we lived in when we moved here last year.” He pointed to a hole in the grassy river bank.“Come on，let’s go inside.” “No，” Rebecca said.“Then you start back，” said William，handing the seedlings to Rebecca.“I’ll catch up.” He ran to the dugout and stepped inside.
Rebecca tied the seedlings into her long apron(围裙) and began to walk.Suddenly she froze in her tracks.A huge prairie rattlesnake(响尾蛇) moved along the river bank.It stopped right in front of the dugout and lay still，coiled up on the warm sunny bank.“William！” Rebecca shouted.“Don’t come out！”
“Huh？” William’s face appeared at a tiny window beside the door of the dugout.Rebecca pointed toward the rattler.William’s face paled when he saw the snake blocking the doorway.He turned desperate eyes toward Rebecca，then he glanced behind himself.
Rebecca’s mind raced，trying to think of a way to get William out of there.An idea popped into her head.It was their only hope.It was risky，but it was the only hope.“Don’t move，” she said to William in a soft voice.“When I say NOW，you run out of there as fast as you can.” Rebecca removed the skirt like petticoat(衬裙) from beneath her dress，then dipped it into the river.She squeezed out some of the water，then climbed to the top of the bank，directly above the dugout’s opening.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
“Get ready to run，William，” she said，keeping an eye on the motionless snake.
“Are you OK？” he asked，breathing heavily.Rebecca nodded.

参考范文
“Get ready to run，William，” she said，keeping an eye on the motionless snake.Rebecca opened the dripping petticoat (wet through with water) as much as she could.Her hands shook as she leaned over the bank.With one swift movement，she dropped the heavy garment on top of the rattlesnake.“NOW！” she shouted to William as the snake began to move under the petticoat.William jumped over the covered snake and ran fast before he stopped and turned around.Rebecca was right behind him.
“Are you OK？” he asked，breathing heavily.Rebecca nodded.She was glad they managed to escape.It took them five minutes to catch their breath and calm themselves down.Rebecca checked to make sure that the seedlings were still complete.Then William gave Rebecca a grateful hug.“Thanks，sister.I’d have done the same for you back there.” Rebecca said with a grin.“You couldn’t have，for you don’t wear petticoats！” Laughing，they raced back to the woods.
