American educator，Booker Washington.He was saying that，“If you want people to grow up，you have to stop treating them like children.”‎ In America，families are close but children are encouraged to be independent，to make their own decisions，even at a very early age.It’s not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津贴) every week.The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs.Some teenagers even have their own credit cards！That’s a big responsibility since even adults are tempted tooverspend when they have credit cards.‎ From an early age，American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decisionmaking.At the dinner table，teenagers will be listened to on any topic，from politics to buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation.In this way，teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals：they are learning how to stand on their own two feet.‎ Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence.They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings.You can see this in the way they dress，the music they listen to and the friends they choose.“Super Girl” Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chinese teenagers on the “Super Girl” television contest.She was not the traditional “nice，young Chinese girl”．With her short，spiky hair and boylike clothes，she was telling everyone that she was different.She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two feet...and she won!‎ There is an old saying，“Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength.” If you do this，step by step，over a period of time，you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be.‎ ‎1．The passage is intended to encourage the youth to________.‎ A．save money for useful things B．become independent C．express their great ambitions D．make important decisions ‎2．A child of seven is given an allowance so that he can______.‎ A．be accepted as a popular guy B．learn to decide how to use money C．overspend money without care D．have school supplies of his own ‎3．The author implies that many Chinese children________.‎ A．are more independent than Americans B．should become interested in ‎America C．are happy with their present situation D．are not satisfied to be nice，quiet ones ‎4．The main idea of the last paragraph is________.‎ A．that we should do things step by step B．why we should understand our desires C．what we should plan for our own life D．how we can manage to realize our dreams ‎ (2009年安徽名校联考，D)‎ As a foreigner，I don’ t know the situation in the US well.Seeing all kinds of recent shooting incidents，I think it should be controlled more strictly than now.Somebody said that the person who has it in mind to kill another can do it without a gun，so the causes of murders are not guns but the trend of despising (蔑视) life in the US.And they also insist that there is no clear evidence that the increasing number of murders is connected with possession of guns，so the personal rights should not be restricted by the reason that there is not enough evidence.‎ Several months ago，I agreed with that partly.But as we know，the private groups like NRA have used the public opinion and persuaded the government to protect their profit.Other weapons such as knives，razors，bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason—to kill someone.Of course，there are people who have guns to protect themselves from the criminals.But crime is getting more cruel and severe nowadays，so actually even if someone has a gun，it is impossible to guard himself completely.‎ As a substitute，I think，if the possession of guns is controlled more strictly，people can live safer lives than now.There are other reasons to oppose the gun control (e.g.the possession of guns is historical inheritance (继承)and represents that people’s resistance will beagainst tyrannical (专制的)government)，but none of them can justify and explain today’s serious situation in the US.‎ ‎5．The writer’s purpose is to give his opinion about________.‎ A．personal possessions B．American culture C．personal rights D．gun control ‎6．Which of the following supports the writer’ s opinion?‎ A．The causes of crime are not guns.‎ B．People are accustomed to having guns.‎ C．People can live a safer life without guns.‎ D．Guns are used for selfdefence.‎ ‎7．What is the current situation in the US?‎ A．The number of murders is rising.‎ B．Everyone in the US possesses a gun.‎ C．NRA has ruled over the country.‎ D．No evidence is available after a crime.‎ ‎8．According to the writer，________should be banned in the society.‎ ‎ A．knives B．guns ‎ C．knives and guns D．knives，razors and bats Ⅰ.单项填空 ‎1．D　考查交际用语。根据Everyone present will burst into laughter可知选D。fun是不可数名词，前面通常不用冠词。No wonder难怪；No doubt肯定地，想必。‎ ‎2．C　考查冠词。success和failure此时都是抽象名词具体化，前面通常要加不定冠词a。a success/failure在此表示“一个成功/失败的人”。‎ ‎3．C　此题考查动词不定式作目的状语。‎ ‎4．A　考查动词用法。根据答语“不，正相反，我认为它非常有必要”，可知bring up这一动作已发生，故选A。regret doing表示后悔/遗憾做过…… (已经做过了)；regret to do表示遗憾地要做…… (还未做)。‎ ‎5．B　考查副词辨析。therefore因此，所以。otherwise否则，要不然；however然而，可是；somehow以……方式，不知怎么地。‎ ‎6．D　考查动词短语词义辨析。句意为：如今每个人都应担负起构建和谐中国的责任。make up表示“弥补”；take up表示“占据，从事”；open up表示“开放，开辟”；build up表示“使强壮，建造”。‎ ‎7．A　考查动词辨析。expand不仅指尺寸的增加，还可指范围和体积的扩大。stretch一般指由曲变直、由短变长的伸展；extend指空间范围的扩大或长宽的向外延伸，也可指时间的延长；spread一般指向四面八方扩大或传播。‎ ‎8．B　考查过去分词作定语。修饰spacecraft，表示被动和完成。句意为：中国成功地发射神舟七号飞船，飞船上配备着精密的科技装置。‎ ‎9．A　考查虚拟语气。由下文的could have done来看，这里使用的是虚拟语气，四个选项中只有but for (要不是)有这种方法。‎ ‎10．C　考查rid...of。rid...of表示“摆脱，除去”。句意为：如果我统治世界的话，我将除去世界上所有丑恶的东西。‎ ‎11．C　考查动词词义辨析。句意为：有时候自然界的平衡受到了扰乱，导致了很多未能预见的后果。confused和puzzled表示“困惑不解的，迷惑的”；troubled表示“麻烦的，不安的”；而disturbed表示“扰乱的，干扰的”。‎ ‎12．A　it couldn’t be better为比较级的否定形式表最高级，意为没有比这更好的了。‎ ‎13．C　考查倍数表达法。表达倍数时应把表示倍数的词放在比较级的最前面，由此可判断此项正确，此处是“倍数词＋比较级＋than”结构。‎ ‎14．D　题意是“当他遇到这个使人困惑的难题时，他脸上露出了困惑的表情”。‎ ‎15．C　lead to导致，后接名词或动名词，可排除B项；又因此处表示“鱼被杀”，可排除D项。A项现在分词的完成时，表示已发生的动作，显然不合题意。正确的说法是：lots of fish being killed，故选C项。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 ‎【语篇解读】　生活中几乎没有东西比责任更重要，更能够帮助别人，并让别人觉得你信任他。作者通过介绍美国人教育孩子的方式来论证这个道理并指出中国的年轻人也开始追求独立。‎ ‎1．B　写作意图推断题。文中第二段中的“In America，families are close but children are encouraged to be independent”和第四段中的“Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence.”都向我们讲述了孩子追求独立的问题，因此我们可以推知文章的目的。‎ ‎2．B　推理判断题。从文中第二段中的“It’s not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津贴) every week.The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs.”可知美国大部分的孩子都有自己的零花钱，他们可以用这些钱去购买自己需要的东西，这样可以培养他们的理财能力。‎ ‎3．D　推理判断题。文中第四段通过Li Yuchun的例子讲述了中国孩子的追求独立的想法。从“She was not the traditional ‘nice，young Chinese girl’．”和“she was telling everyone that she was different.”我们可知D是正确答案。其余选项的说法不合理。‎ ‎4．D　主旨大意题。文章前面讲述了美国孩子和中国孩子追求独立的情况，文章的最后一段作者就这一问题提出了自己的建议，告诉我们怎么样才能实现我们的理想。‎ ‎5．D　主旨大意题。本文作者主要就该不该对枪支实施管制发表意见。‎ ‎6．C　推理判断题。从最后一段的第一句“...if the possesion of guns is controlled more strictly，people can live safer lives than now”可知答案。‎ ‎7．A　事实细节题。文章第一段就提到“the increasing number of murders”故选A。‎ ‎8．B　推理判断题。从第二段中“Other weapons such as knives，razors，bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason—to kill someone”可推断出答案。‎
