There are many things parents can do to help children with autism (自闭症) overcome their challenges. Learning all you can about autism and getting __41__ in treatment will go a long way toward helping your child. Additionally, the following tips will make daily home life easier for both you and your autistic child:
Be consistent（一致的）.?Children with autism have a hard time __42__ what they’ve learned if there is a change of setting. For example, your child may use sign language at school to communicate, but never think to do so at home. Creating __43__ in your child’s environment is the best way to reinforce（强化） learning. Find out what your child’s therapists are doing and continue their techniques at home. Explore the __44__ of having therapy take place in more than one place in order to encourage your child to __45__ what he or she has learned from one environment to another. It’s also important to be consistent in the way you __46__ with your child and deal with challenging behaviors.
__47__ a schedule.?Children with autism tend to do best when they have a highly-structured schedule or routine. Again, this goes back to the consistency they both need and crave.

__51__ good behavior.?Positive reinforcement can go a long way with children with autism, so make an effort to “catch them doing something good.” Praise them when they act appropriately or learn a new skill, being very __52__ about what behavior they’re being praised for.
Pay attention to your child’s sensory sensitivities.?Many children with autism are hypersensitive to light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Other children with autism are “under-sensitive” to sensory stimuli(刺激物). __53__ what sights, sounds, smells and movements cause your kid’s “bad” or disruptive behaviors and what brings about a(n) __54__ response.

Section B
(A)
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages (野人) whose king wanted to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light lamp, said his best ideas came to him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problem you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
56. According to the message, Elias Howe was ______ .
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his dreams
B. much more hard-working than other inventors.
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
57. The problem Howe was trying to solve was_________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
58. Thomas Edison is spoken of because ______ .
A. he got some of his ideas from dreams B. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
C. he was one of Howe’s friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
59. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ______ .
A. images which have no meaning are used
B. strange messages are used to communicate ideas
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.
B. There are many reasons for world hunger.
C. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.
D. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.
E. Those places need far more food than they actually get.
F. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.
In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 63 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.
The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 64 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.
65 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 66 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
In spite of all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the transition from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjusting to the life on the job.
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. Lewis believes that most of our school experiences-from childhood through university-are fairly predictable, while
life in the working world is far more ambiguous. In school, for example, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly. A project you are working on this month might suddenly change next month or next week, and it's often hard to anticipate what you'll be doing six to twelve months from now.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. n school, many students including those in college spend lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they 'learned' on tests. But in the workplace employees are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor's instructions.
Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In some ways, school does prepare one for collaborative nature of the workplace. Learners sit classes every day with many other students. They must listen to others' opinions, participate at times in group discussions, and learn how to get along outside the classroom. Nevertheless, in school, a student normally works independently to complete most tasks and receives a grade according to how well he or she has done. In the workplace however, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success.

I want to be a warm-hearted and optimistic girl in the future. I hope I will always be helpful, giving others support and thus able to make the world a warm family. An optimistic attitude, which will bring me the power to keep on smiling in face of difficulties, is also what I want.
I should learn to be broad-mined. Viewing from others’ angles offers us a chance to have a better understanding of them, which will lead to a more harmonious relationship. To keep optimistic, I should have a bright outlook on life and learn to let go of the pessimistic view of life, which can do nothing but cost us the opportunities that should have been grasped.
In a word, with constant efforts, I believe I can eventually become the person I want to be.

Section B
(A)
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages (野人) whose king wanted to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light lamp, said his best ideas came to him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problem you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
56. According to the message, Elias Howe was ______ .
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his dreams
B. much more hard-working than other inventors.
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams
57. The problem Howe was trying to solve was_________.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
58. Thomas Edison is spoken of because ______ .
A. he got some of his ideas from dreams B. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
C. he was one of Howe’s friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
59. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ______ .
A. images which have no meaning are used
B. strange messages are used to communicate ideas
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.
B. There are many reasons for world hunger.
C. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.
D. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.
E. Those places need far more food than they actually get.
F. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.
In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 63 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.
The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 64 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.
65 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 66 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
In spite of all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the transition from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjusting to the life on the job.
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. Lewis believes that most of our school experiences-from childhood through university-are fairly predictable, while
life in the working world is far more ambiguous. In school, for example, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly. A project you are working on this month might suddenly change next month or next week, and it's often hard to anticipate what you'll be doing six to twelve months from now.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. n school, many students including those in college spend lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they 'learned' on tests. But in the workplace employees are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor's instructions.
Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In some ways, school does prepare one for collaborative nature of the workplace. Learners sit classes every day with many other students. They must listen to others' opinions, participate at times in group discussions, and learn how to get along outside the classroom. Nevertheless, in school, a student normally works independently to complete most tasks and receives a grade according to how well he or she has done. In the workplace however, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success.

V. Writing:
The Person I want to be most
I want to be a warm-hearted and optimistic girl in the future. I hope I will always be helpful, giving others support and thus able to make the world a warm family. An optimistic attitude, which will bring me the power to keep on smiling in face of difficulties, is also what I want.
I should learn to be broad-mined. Viewing from others’ angles offers us a chance to have a better understanding of them, which will lead to a more harmonious relationship. To keep optimistic, I should have a bright outlook on life and learn to let go of the pessimistic view of life, which can do nothing but cost us the opportunities that should have been grasped.
In a word, with constant efforts, I believe I can eventually become the person I want to be.
