The next time someone slams me, I’m going to 21 , and they’ll learn how important I am.” The next day, the first time he was slammed, the living-room door broke.
This caused great 22 in the house, and the children were punished. But after a few days, the house owners didn’t want to have a broken door. Instead of 23 it, they decided to buy a new one. The old door was abandoned (抛弃).
By then the beautiful living-room door regretted what he had done. For not being 24 enough, he was now abandoned, waiting to be turned into firewood. Meanwhile, his friend, the not so good-looking bathroom door, remained in his place, and the children were treating him with greater 25 than before.

三、阅读（共两节，满分35分）
Maybe you think that many parents have learnt a lot about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, there’s a “huge difference between parents and their children”. Symantec makes many security (安全) software for home and business computers.
How much time do children spend online each week Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average (平均). The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.
“I really think that’s because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don’t even know they’re online,” says Symantec’s Bill Rosenkrantz. “Remember, cell phones and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don’t have to sit in front of a computer screen.”
And what are the children doing on the Web “They’re doing things, like downloading music, going to social networking sites and shopping online, when parents don’t think they’re doing those kinds of activities,” says Rosenkrantz. Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree.
So how does a modern parent deal with (处理) this type of situation “The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,” says Rosenkrantz.“Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do. Really have those talks. That’s the most important.”
There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That’s why it’s so important for parents to know what their children are doing online.
26．The data in the second paragraph are used to show _______.
A．parents don’t exactly know children’s online time
B．time spent online changes with children’s ages
C．children always spend too much time online
D．children spend more time online than their parents
27．What can we learn from the passage
A．Parents are too busy to pay attention to their children.
B．Most parents know what their children are doing online.
C．Symantec makes many special home and business computers.
D．Some children surveyed may go against their parents’ wishes.
28．In Rosenkrantz’s opinion, parents should _______.
A．stop their children’s online activities B．shorten the time their children spend online
C．have a talk with their children and make some rules D．use security software in computers
29．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a kind of useful security software.
B．To advise parents to notice what their children do online.
C．To give reasons for children’s bad Internet habits.
D．To talk about the dangers children may face on the Internet.
【答案】26．A 27．D 28．C 29．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章讨论了父母与孩子在网络使用时间上的认知差异，以及孩子在网络上可能从事的活动，文章通过Symantec公司的调查数据，揭示了父母对孩子在线活动的了解不足，并提出了父母应如何应对这一问题的建议。
26．细节理解题。根据文中“Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average. The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.”可知，18岁以下孩子的父母说他们的孩子平均每周上网约三个小时，而参与调查的8至17岁孩子说他们平均每周上网七小时，故这些数据是为了说明父母对孩子的上网时间了解不准确。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据文中“Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree.”可知，近四分之一的儿童可能会做一些父母不同意的事情，故一些被调查的孩子可能会违背父母的意愿。故选D。
28．观点态度题。根据文中“The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online. Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do.”可知，Rosenkrantz认为父母应该与孩子讨论并制定规则。故选C。
29．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过调查指出家长并不了解孩子上网情况，孩子上网做的事可能超出家长认知，还提到网上有坏人，最后给出建议，所以文章目的是建议家长关注孩子上网做什么。故选B。
Do you miss the great snacks you had when you were a kid Do they help you remember your happy childhood
Sugar Figures In the old days, there were always some people making sugar figures at the school gate. The maker would take a little maltose (麦芽糖) with a small spoon and draw a figure such as the Monkey King and the White Dragon. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for each.

Baby Face Ice Cream It tastes delicious but a little expensive. I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece which was not easy for me to buy those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.

It was a busy Saturday as usual, for “six days shall you work and finish all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.
Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.
The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart. Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.
My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites ” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what ” “The day we flew kites.”

三、阅读（共两节，满分35分）
Maybe you think that many parents have learnt a lot about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, there’s a “huge difference between parents and their children”. Symantec makes many security (安全) software for home and business computers.
How much time do children spend online each week Parents of children under the age of 18 said their children spend about three hours a week on average (平均). The children, aged 8 to 17, who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.
“I really think that’s because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don’t even know they’re online,” says Symantec’s Bill Rosenkrantz. “Remember, cell phones and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don’t have to sit in front of a computer screen.”
And what are the children doing on the Web “They’re doing things, like downloading music, going to social networking sites and shopping online, when parents don’t think they’re doing those kinds of activities,” says Rosenkrantz. Nearly a quarter of the children (23 per cent) might do things their parents would not agree.
So how does a modern parent deal with (处理) this type of situation “The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,” says Rosenkrantz.“Sit down with them and understand what they’re doing. Secondly, have a talk about it. Have a talk about what’s an acceptable activity, what’s an unacceptable activity, and set some rules—time online, things you can and can’t do. Really have those talks. That’s the most important.”
There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That’s why it’s so important for parents to know what their children are doing online.
26．The data in the second paragraph are used to show _______.
A．parents don’t exactly know children’s online time

C．children always spend too much time online
D．children spend more time online than their parents
27．What can we learn from the passage
A．Parents are too busy to pay attention to their children.
B．Most parents know what their children are doing online.
C．Symantec makes many special home and business computers.
D．Some children surveyed may go against their parents’ wishes.
28．In Rosenkrantz’s opinion, parents should _______.
A．stop their children’s online activities B．shorten the time their children spend online
C．have a talk with their children and make some rules D．use security software in computers
29．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a kind of useful security software.
B．To advise parents to notice what their children do online.
C．To give reasons for children’s bad Internet habits.
D．To talk about the dangers children may face on the Internet.
Do you miss the great snacks you had when you were a kid Do they help you remember your happy childhood
Sugar Figures In the old days, there were always some people making sugar figures at the school gate. The maker would take a little maltose (麦芽糖) with a small spoon and draw a figure such as the Monkey King and the White Dragon. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for each.
Bubble Gum Almost every kid loves bubble gum and kids often gathered together to see who got the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke! Her face was covered with gum. It was cheap. I could get two for 1 yuan.
Baby Face Ice Cream It tastes delicious but a little expensive. I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece which was not easy for me to buy those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.
Malt Sugar Candy Malt sugar candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious and cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I often shared Tangguar with each other in the past.

My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites ” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t have the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what ” “The day we flew kites.”
