Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.
B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.
C.Active children should read more and be given more attention.
D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children's language development.”可知，父母给孩子读书的时候，通过采用一些简单的技巧就可以大大提高孩子的语言能力。由此可以推知，语言能力可以通过适当的方法来提高。故D项为正确答案。
2. What does "It" (Para. 1) can most probably be replaced by?
A.Parents' increasing children's language development.
B.Reading techniques being simple.
C.Parents' reading to children.
D.Children's intelligence development.
A B C D
A
[解析] 词语理解题。根据上下文可知，it指前一句所说的父母能提高孩子的语言能力。
3. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?
A.Do you see the elephant?
B.Is the elephant in the cage?
C.What animals do you like?
D.Shall we go to the zoo?
A B C D
C
[解析] 推理判断题。从第二段第三句“In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.”(给实验组的家长进行两小时的培训，让他们学会向孩子们提一些开放式的而不是能用“是”或“不是”来回答的问题。)可推知，选项C正确。选项A、B、D均是要用“是”或“不是”来回答的问题，因此家长提出的最好的问题应该是“What animals do you like?(你喜欢什么样的动物?)”。
4. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was ______.
A.the training that parents received
B.the age of the children
C.the books that were read
D.the number of the children
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知，两组的区别在于实验组里的家长接受了培训。故选A。

A.parents should be trained to read to their children
B.the more children read, the more intelligent they will become
C.children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively
Passage 2 My father was a forman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Picdras, Puertro Rieo. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks. It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I've never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn't want to work. I was only six years old, but I was doing a man's job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle. The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb (番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field—except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.
1. The writer's first job was ______.

Passage 3 Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are almost silent. It isn't what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy(喜剧) doesn't depend upon words of language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. In his films, Chaplin raises his thick black eyebrow(眉毛). He straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air. He hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies. Trying to be brave, he faints away on the floor. He pretends to be what he is not and never could be—a rich, successful, important man. It is the secret of Chaplin's huge success. He discovered the character of the little tramp almost by accident. As a young man he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Chaplin was invited to join a new company that was making comedies. It was in his second film that he wore the clothes that made his reputation: black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache(胡须) and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd disguises(扮相) made him look both comic and sad. His appearance was a popular success, right from the beginning. But his early films hadn't much story. They were full of actions. The little man played fast-moving games of hide-and-seek with his enemies, racing down city streets, jumping on trains, and boating down rivers.
1. Which of the following is true?
A.Chaplin was a homeless traveler.
B.Chaplin hardly did actions in films.
C.Chaplin amused his audience by his actions.
D.Chaplin always did the same actions in his films.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章第一段最后两句“It isn't what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn't depend upon words of language, but on the little actions which mean...”可知，卓别林的喜剧不是依靠语言，而是靠他的行为和动作来使人们发笑。故选C。
2. The secret of Chaplin's success is that he created a character who ______.
A.faints away on the floor, trying to be brave
B.behaves as if he was a successful, important rich man
C.straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air
D.hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章第二段最后两句“He pretends to be what he is not and never could be—a rich, successful, important man. It is the secret of Chaplin's huge success.”可知，卓别林获得巨大成功的秘密就是他假装自己是个成功的、重要的有钱人。故选B。

A.person who walks far
B.person who walks heavily
C.person who is lucky
D.homeless person who moves about
A B C D
D
[解析] 词语理解题。根据文章后面描述卓别林在电影里的动作以及“comic and sad”可知，tramp一词应与sad相对应，表示一些不好的含义。A项意为“走得很远的人”，B项意为“走得沉重的人”，C项意为“幸运的人”，均不符合题意。故选D(无家可归的人)。tramp意为“流浪汉”。
4. With the help of his odd appearance, Chaplin intended to look ______.
A.rich
B.funny
C.successful
D.impressive
A B C D
B
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句“He intended simply to make people laugh.”可知，卓别林古怪的扮相只是为了让观众开心。由此可推知，他的古怪扮相是为了让自己看上去更有趣(funny)，从而取悦观众。A项意为“富有的”，C项意为“成功的”，D项意为“令人印象深刻的”，均不正确。
5. Chaplin's films were full of the following action EXCEPT ______.
A.boating down rivers
B.racing down city streets
C.jumping on trains
D.riding bicycles
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章最后一句“The little man played fast-moving games of hide-and-seek with his enemies, racing down city streets, jumping on trains, and boating down rivers.”可知，选项A、B、C的动作均出现在卓别林的电影里，只有选项D(骑自行车)文章未提及。故选D。
Passage 4 In the United States, elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited(不被认可) rather a long time ago so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.
1. According to the passage, the U. S. elementary education is supposed to make children ______.
2. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think ______.
A.children are reluctant to help each other
B.schools lay too much emphasis on cooperation
C.children should grow up with competitive ideas
D.schools give little actual instruction to children
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句“...many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.”可知，许多人认为在使孩子们开心、有兴趣方面做得太多，却没给他们实际的指导。注意选项D里的little表示“几乎没有”。故选D。
3. The author's attitude towards American education can be best described as ______.
A.favorable
B.negative
C.tolerant
D.unfriendly
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后两句“...it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another...”可知，作者认为说这种教育制度失败是不公平的。它或许的确成功地使大部分人友善并乐于助人。由此可推知，作者对美国教育持赞赏态度。
4. The American educational system emphasizes ______.
A.material wealth
B.competition
C.cooperation
D.personal benefit
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第巍第二句“So the emphasis is on cooperation...”可知，美国教育制度强调的是合作。故选C。

Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. The brand name puts a face on every company. Names like McDonald's, GM, Apple, Intel, and a large number of others have long become very popular. They've also given customers a point of reference when thinking about a company. 1 Good brand names might help companies avoid heavy costs and bring them greater profits. Usually companies create names that are easy to learn and remember. Firstly, the name should create interest. 2 Rhymes (押韵) and humor are some ways to gain interest, but there are others as well. Think about your customers and what would interest them. Secondly, the name should present a picture or image. 3 People remember them most because the name is stored in pictures and words. 4 Thirdly, the name should be meaningful associations that show the benefits customers want. Then the name should have some emotion. 5 Emotional associations are easier to learn and remember. The Love Boat, for instance, is very easy to remember. 6 Finally, the name should be simple so that it is easier to learn and remember.
