Have you heard of the term “tweenager” It’s a slang(俚语)word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager, you see. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way
Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.
Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce(离婚)rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate(补偿)by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.
You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media-and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication(老于世故)at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.
Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.
So what does tweenage fashion look like It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.
But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services at children.
8. What is the use of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept and bring up the topic.
B. To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.
C. To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.
D. To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.
9. How does the author like the idea that parents buy presents for their children
A. He doesn’t give a certain answer. B. He doesn’t agree with it.
C. He doubts about it. D. He supports it.
10. Why can tweenagers affect their parents more than those before
A. They have learned more about life and the world.
B. They can receive more advanced school education.
C. Their parents have less time to take good care of them,
D. Their parents are under constant pressure from their work.
11. Why do tweenagers tend to look fashionable
A. They are afraid of being laughed at by others.
B. They have less freedom than previous generations.
C. They wish to become successful and famous quickly.
D. The media often encourage kids to be like adults at a young age.

A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom’s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone. I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签)and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(撒)presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom’s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.
“Mom, I can’t…”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me.

Have you heard of the term “tweenager” It’s a slang(俚语)word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager, you see. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way
Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.
Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce(离婚)rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate(补偿)by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.
You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media-and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication(老于世故)at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.
Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.
So what does tweenage fashion look like It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.
But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services at children.
8. What is the use of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept and bring up the topic.
B. To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.
C. To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.
D. To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.
9. How does the author like the idea that parents buy presents for their children
A. He doesn’t give a certain answer. B. He doesn’t agree with it.
C. He doubts about it. D. He supports it.
10. Why can tweenagers affect their parents more than those before
A. They have learned more about life and the world.
B. They can receive more advanced school education.
C. Their parents have less time to take good care of them,
D. Their parents are under constant pressure from their work.
11. Why do tweenagers tend to look fashionable
A. They are afraid of being laughed at by others.
B. They have less freedom than previous generations.
C. They wish to become successful and famous quickly.

The water was rather shallow (浅), so the fish wasn’t able to sink down or actually run with the line.

At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something.

This is the biggest fish that ___43___ (catch) by us since half a year ago. ”

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom’s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone. I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签)and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(撒)presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom’s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.
“Mom, I can’t…”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother. I was stopped by my mother’s eager, joyful look. “Let’s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow dryer(吹风机). Though this might seem nothing but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was extremely surprised. In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom’s selfless behavior was impossible to understand. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas gift so that I could have one more present.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me. I have always remembered that Christmas fondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life, I can now understand my mom’s actions. I see, actually, she was not “giving up her Christmas present” as I had thought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom’s simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom’s giving, I will choose to give in my life.
