Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago．My next-door neighbour and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down．“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie．
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out，I’ll watch her other three．And when she watches two of mine，I’ll take someone out．
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time．Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first．When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions．McKenzie was smiling broadly．Christie looked refreshed and happy．“She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly．With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention．
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our own times．For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently．My stuttering (口吃的)son，Tom，doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak．And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together．
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain．Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while．
36．What is the text mainly about
A．The experience of the only child being with mother．
B．The advantage of spending time with one child at a time．
C．The happy life of two families．
D．The basic needs of children．
37．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______．
A．happy B．curious
C．regretful D．friendly
38．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children
A．The daughter acts like a leader．
B．Sam holds her hand more often．
C．The boys become better followers．
D．Tom has less difficulty in speaking．
39．The author seems to believe that ______．
A．having brothers and sisters is fun
B．it’s tiring to look after three children
C．every child needs parents’ full attention
D．parents should watch others’ children

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships．One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的)conditions．Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties．Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems．People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties．Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely．
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways．First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us．Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties．Second, other people often provide us with informational support．They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them．Third, we typically find social companionship supportive．Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力)us from our worries and troubles．Finally, other people may give us instrumental support一money aid, material resources, and needed services一that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems．
40．Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ______．
A．make people live more easily
B．smooth away daily problems
C．deal with life changes
D．cure types of illnesses
41．The researches show that peopled physical and mental health ______．

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle．When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” and she didn’t even go fishing．
Scotland is not easily defined．In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes．When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold．As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration (烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water．It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony．If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun．For many，fishing is more than a sport，it is an art．
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing．Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains．Ben Nevis is the highest of all mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge．But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique．More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water．Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient (原料)in Scotland’s best known drink: whisky．
45．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ______．
A．the queen is rich in tour experience
B．the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D．1873 is a special year for the queen
46．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A．By giving descriptions．
B．By following time order．
C．By analyzing causes．
D．By making comparisons．
47．What is Ben Nevis special for
A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel．
B．The beauty of its surroundings．
C．The water from the mountain．
D．The challenge up to its top．
48．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists．
B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers．
C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland．
D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland．

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap(包装)．
On September 11, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is．” What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however, I found its bed empty．My doll was gone! I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless,” “pitiful,” and “dying,” which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．“Don’t expect any presents this year．” Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．“If your baby brother lives，that’ll be Christmas enough．” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears．I’d never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him saying．“What He’s all right ” He hung up and shouted upstairs．“The hospital said we can bring Richard home! “
“Thank God,” I heard Mum crying．
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them so happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks were still there．But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!
49．What happened to the author on September 11, 1958

【通篇解读】短文介绍了作者深爱的小弟弟因病住院，情况不容乐观。在圣诞节即将来临之际，全家人正在为此感到悲伤难过时，来自医院的电话给全家人带来了好消息，作者的弟弟康复了，作者认为这是圣诞节最特别的礼物。
【答案】49．A 50．D 51．C 52．C
【解析】49．细节理解题。从第二段第一句”On September 11，1958, Mum gave birth to Richard”，我们可以看出作者的弟弟出生了。这个弟弟并非是真正的doll”洋娃娃”，这点千万要读懂。
50．细节理解题。ominous本意是”不吉利的；凶兆的”，作者当时还是个孩子，文中第三段提到”For several days, I heard Mum and Dad; whispering such words as “ hopeless,”pitiful,“and |“dying,?”在他幼小而懵懂的心里，这些词是有一定的惊吓作用的，故选D。
51．推理判断题。根据短文，在圣诞节即将来临之际，作者的弟弟仍然在住院而且情况不容乐观，为此，作者的父亲感到悲伤。因此，正确答案为C。
52．主旨大意题。作者以一个特别的圣诞礼物为中心线索展开故事情节，因此，”A special Christmas gift．”是最佳标题。

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter．I’m glad to tell you something about China’s Lantern Festival．
Lantern Festival is a China’s traditional festival．It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year．It’s one of the biggest holidays in China．Days before Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns．Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals, vegetables, fruits and so on．There are riddles on the lanterns．On the eve of Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up．
On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on them．Perhaps you can see some wonderful folk performances．At the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colourful lanterns hung out．Nowadays, the displaying of lanterns is still a big event throughout China．People usually eat dumplings or yuanxiao for supper．The fillings inside the dumplings or yuanxiao are either sweet or salty．It’s my favourite．
How do you like the Lantern Festival I look forward to hearing from you．
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear teachers and schoolmates,
It’s a great pleasure for me to be here today and share my experience of learning English with you．I’m interested in English and hope to be an interpreter in the future．Naturally it’s very important for me to learn English well．As everybody knows, vocabulary is an important part of language, just like bricking a building．I usually memorize twenty new words a day and put them to use whenever possible．After class, I often listen to English programmes on TV and on the radio．Besides, I’ve learned a lot from the Internet and other sources．
Now, I’d like to make some suggestions on English teaching and learning in our school．Firstly, we should be given more opportunities to use what we’ve learned in order to have a better grasp of it．Secondly, I hope our teachers can recommend more interesting books and magazines and give us more free time to read them．Finally, I suggest we have more English activities, such as English contests and festivals．
Thank you for listening．
