Many parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngster’s ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age….” Eighteen-year-old Kelly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I don’t say much.”

Kids reflexively（条件反射地）shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over（呆滞）, and they don’t register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First, they scream. Then comes the ‘We’re so disappointed’ speech. Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back.”

Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichés（陈词滥调）to justify our actions, we weaken our position.

Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific

reasons for your actions in present language: ‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions（监护）.’”

Betty, who lives in Missouri, uses an indirect approach. “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about. My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information.

Then they never think I’m preaching(布道).”

This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving. Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed,” she would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash. Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation. She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions---especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.

Universities and colleges in the United States are trying new programs for international students to increase enrollment and income.Some universities are experimenting with bringing international high school students to their campuses.These programs permit students to complete their high school diploma while earning college credit at the same time.

One example of this model is at the University of Southern Maine,or USM.The program is called the "International Academy".The school is expecting its first class of international high school students this fall.Joanna Evans is the director for the academy.The program is officially a "boarding school on a university campus" that serves 11th and 12th grade international high school students only.

The students will take classes at the University of Southern Maine to complete their high school diploma. However,because the classes are university-level,the students will receive college credit at the same time.

According to Evans,the students they recruit will have to be very strong.Their course schedule will be the same as taking only advanced-placement courses.The goal is that,by the time they complete their high school diploma at the academy,they will be ready to start college as a third-year college student.

Their English language skills also must be strong.The Academy looks for students with a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language,or TOEFL score of 79,or a 6.5 on the International English Testing System,or IELTS. However,there are classes available to provide additional English language training when the students arrive if they need it.

All incoming students at the academy are required to take a college writing class in their first term.If English is not their first language,they will take a class taught by teachers with a background in teaching students who speak English as a foreign language.

Although they are only high school students,the expectations are the same as college students."Students need to be ready to take university classes,and that is the deal"Evans said.

32.How does the new program "International Academy" benefit students?

A.Shortening their time at school.                                       B.Offering free education.

C.Supplying free room and board.                                      D.Giving up courses in high school.

33.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "recruit" in Paragraph 4?

A.refuse                          B.train                             C.value                           D.admit

34.Which of the following is an entrance requirement of the students?

A.Being very creative.        B.High English level.          C.High intelligence.            D.Wealthy background.

35.What are the students of the new program expected to do?

A.Have a high level of writing.                                      B.Build up strong enough bodies.

C.Achieve what college students do.                                  D.Progress with help of experienced teachers.

Taking Part in School Activities

We had a heated discussion about whether senior high school students should take part in school activities. As for school activities, students mainly hold two views.

will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. In

smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan thebread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.

9.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? 

A. To save customers times. 

B. To show they are high quality foods. 

C. To help sell junk food. 

D. To sell them at discount prices. 

10.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy? 

A. Opening the store early in the morning. 

B. Displaying British wines next to French ones. 

C. Inviting customers to play music. 

D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread. 

11.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove? 

A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider. 

B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells. 

C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste. 

D. A good first impression increases sales.  

12.What is the main purpose of the passage? 

A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. 

B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past. 

C. To report researches on customer behavior. 

D. To show dishonest business practices.

It was on 20 September 1973 that Bobby Riggs 61.       (meet) Billie Jean King on the tennis court. Of all the tennis 62.       (match) until then, this was probably the one that attracted 63.       most attention. Riggs had once been a champion, but at 55 he was getting rather old for top—class tennis. But he considered 64.       (he) a better player than any woman. In fact, he thought women should go home and find something useful 65.       (do) in the kitchen. Billie Jean King, on the other hand, 66.       (be) a 29-year-old star of women’s tennis.

At present, I am extremely happy because I am doing all what I like. As a senior three student, I study hard every day and live it to the full. It feels well to study hard with my determining classmates to fulfill our dreams. When I was recalled the happy things which happened to me, the experience of my receiving the scholarship in middle school topped it all. It was a time when my family is going through financial difficulties. So I made up my mind to win the scholarship, hoped to lighten my parents financial burden. After making tons of painstaking efforts, I succeeded. On the ceremony, my mom was the most poorly-dressed woman, and with the brightest smile on her face.

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mum, you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花) before they are over."

I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. "I will go next Tuesday," I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call. 

The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible(看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!" 

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in such weather all the time, Mum.You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience." 

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and on the far side of a small church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read "Daffodil Garden". We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up amazed. Before me lay the most beautiful sight. Flows of flowers of different colors seemed poured down the peak and slopes. There were five acres of flowers! A sea of daffodil! It was like a fairyland all beyond description.

"But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn. "It's just one woman," Carolyn answered. That's her home. "Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio(露台), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the headline.  The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs(鳞茎)" it read. The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman." The third answer was, "Began in 1958." 

I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring beauty and joy to this remote mountain top. Just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, had changed the world where she lived and created something of magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small amounts of daily effort, we too can accomplish great things. Everyone can do something to change the world.

     B. She worked as a professional gardener. 

     C. She grew the daffodils over 50 years by herself. 

     D. Being poor, she made a living by selling daffodils.

23. What has the writer learned from this experience?

     A. It's never too late to learn. 

     B. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.

     C. People can change the world where they live by growing flowers.

had chosen to live on such a poor and   62    (lone) island. She said her father was diagnosed with cancer after he moved to the US and the doctor said he had only half a year   63    (leave).

 It doesn't matter to fail as long as you don't give up. To my opinion, it is hard to be successful. Challenges were a necessary part of your life as you grow up. And you won't necessary succeed in everything for the first time you try. That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the one who've had the most failure. J．K. Rowling, who wrote Harry Potter, had her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was removed his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and miss thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's because I succeed.”

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

"I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"

Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!"

"No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!"

21. The military camp was built in the village to _______.

A. stop the soldiers going to towns

B. stop the soldiers meeting their friends

C. train the new soldiers

D. make the young men live quietly

22. The young officer was worried because _______.

A. a traffic accident had happened

B. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiers

C. the nine soldiers didn't come back on time

23. Which answer do you think is right?

A. I'll believe only the last soldier.

B. The officer believed the nine soldiers.

C. I'll believe none of the nine soldiers.

D. The officer won't punish his soldiers.

   Jack Ma, the chairman and founder of China’s e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, took down on Google’s artificial intelligence AlphaGo at the Big Data Expo  61  (hold) in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, and urged Chinese enterprises not to develop such things   62   AlphaGo. Chinese Go player Ke Jie, current world No. 1, has admitted defeats in his three   63  (match) against computer program AlphaGo in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province,   ___64  led to heavy online discussions regarding the future of mankind and AI.

   “Machines must have its own special thinking and must do thins human cannot do,” Ma added,   65  (believe) AI should work for humans to do useful things that human are unable to achieve, rather than just spoiling human’s fun.

   But speaking for myself, I don’t really care. I   66  (especial) advised that many fellow enterprises should not develop such things and we can do many other useful things.”

     Ma also explained   67  he didn’t like AlphaGo: “Go game is   68  interesting and fun thing where I can wait for my competitor   69   (play) wrong and I can win. But the machine never plays wrong and it can work out the next 300 steps   70  you can only think about the next three.”
