III、阅读(共两节,满分40分)
第一节:阅读理解:(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.
But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.
Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.
41. Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_________.
A. these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computers
B. these computers could not do the work that small computers can do today
C. these computers did not come onto the market
D. these companies did not need to use this new technology
42. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last
??ten years is __________.
A. the saving of time and money
B. the use of computers in small companies
C. the wide use of word processors
D. the decreasing number of secretaries
43. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors
??_________.
A. some secretaries will lose their jobs
B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours
C. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatly
D. the British companies will make less money
44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.
B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.
C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last
ten years.
D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work
? for their bosses.
45. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. safety screens are of poor quality
B. working at a VDU for a long time is good for one’s health
C. more and more British offices will use word processors
D. British companies will need fewer and fewer managers
B
In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm(热情) for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality(准时) for meals. In general, the controls imposed (强加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community (社区) as much as the child’s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills_____.
A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make him lose interest in learning new things
When children are learning new skills, parents should_____.
A. encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. not expect too much of them
C. achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. create as many learning opportunities as possible
The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
The underlined word “precept” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_____”.
A. idea B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction
In moral matters, parents should _____.
A. observe the rules themselves
B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D. satisfy their children’s needs
C
“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor on seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found,I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
51. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?
A. A lot of care and the right soil. B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cages placed around the roots.
52. The writer planted the tomato because __________.
A. it cost only 1.25 dollars. B. the roses branches needed to be covered
C. the soil was just right for it D. there was room for it in the garden
53. This year the writer’s roses were ______.
A. removed from the rose bed B. picked along with the tomatoes
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. largely hidden under the tomato plant
54. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph5, the writer wants to ____.
A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B. express her liking for the roses
C. show the hardship of growing the roses D. express her care for the tomatoes
55. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that _______.
A. the roses cost the writer little money B. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes
C. someone will help the writer make the decision
D. the writer can not now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes

第二节:读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Helicopter parents (过度溺爱孩子的父母)pay close attention to everything, and overmanage their child's life. Some make sure their child succeeds in every way. Others hurry to prevent harm, instead of letting their children learn from their mistakes.
Like a helicopter that hovers, parents by the same name are always within reach, even when their children demand a bit more breathing room. They think they're helping their children, but experts believe they could be causing more harm than good.
Are you in constant contact with your child? Cell phones have led to frequent communication between parents and children. If you call your child every morning to make sure he's getting to class on time, take a step back.
Do you try and make all your child's academic decisions for him? If you are choosing their courses and career path, you're not letting them decide how to live their own lives. Giving advice is OK, but give them some space to make their own decisions.
Do you get anxious if your child doesn't succeed? Helicopter parents base their own self-worth on their child's success, and that can create problems for everyone. If your child fails a project or has relationship troubles in college, don't take it personally. You've done the best you can, and now the rest is up to them.
[写作内容]
1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点;
2. 然后以约120个词就“Helicopter Parents”这一主题发表看法,并包括如下要点:
以自己的学习生活为例,简述在日常学习生活中你父母对你的溺爱;

a)可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子;
b) 标题自定。

Letting Go!
?????This article points out the common phenomenon of parents over-managing their children's life. It gives us a vivid picture of what are called helicopter parents. The article is very critical of parents who take this role. ?? ??I must admit that my parents love me very much, even though they sometimes criticize me. Last Monday, I had wanted to chat with my American friend online. However, they didn’t allow me to use the computer because they don’t like me surfing the Internet frequently, or chatting alone with foreigners. Although they deeply care for me, it makes me unhappy that they often look through my personal things. Also, if I watch TV too much, they complain about my habits.
I would like to tell them that I can manage without their hovering over me! I’d like to say to them, “Please let go of your anxiety. Give me some advice, when necessary, about how to make good decisions. Otherwise, let me think for myself. Your goal should be for me to grow up on my own, into a independent, mature adult.”
