2、with golden _4_ in the distance.He _5_ how great it would be to live there and his mind would wander to imagine the modern equipment that might _6_ in the house.“If they could _7_ golden windows，then they must have _8_ nice things.”He then promised himself， “Some day I will go there and see that won
3、derful place.”Then one _9_ his father told him to stay at home and his father would do the chores.Knowing that this was his _10_，he packed a sandwich and _11_ across the field towards the house with the golden windows._12_ the afternoon went on，he began to realize how he misjudged the distance and s

8、from their parents to do well in school and in college.Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future.Although this may be good advice for those students who are very bright，it can have very bad results for many students who are not very
9、bright enough at learning.Unfortunately，a number of students actually kill themselves.Others are after comfort in using drugs.Some students，however ，do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime.Many of them have tried very hard at school but，in spite of their tries， have failed in certa
10、in examinations and have disappointed their parents.Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they have finished their study.It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school， they dont
11、help them in any way.Many parents feel that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is their teachers job to help their children.To make matters worse，a lot of parents send their children to special schools called cram schools.These schools are open during the evening a
12、nd on weekends，and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams.They dont try to educate students in any real sense of the world.It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school population attend these cram schools.Ordinary Japanese schools usually
13、have rules about everything from the length of students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags.Child psychologists (心理学家) now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society.They regard the rules as being harmful to the develop
14、ment of each student.They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that such students are not given guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.1According to the passage，a lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because they _.Awork very hardBfind they cant do well in school
15、Cfeel unimportantDare under too much pressure2Because of their failure at school，some students _.Ago to cram school for better educationBleave school without finishing their studyCare against the school rulesDhave quarrels with their parents3In the third paragraph， “cram school”probably means the sc

18、other places.(完形填空第一段第一句)有一个住在离其他地方很远的农场的小男孩。(1)There is a foreigner coming to our school tomorrow.有个外国人明天要来我们学校。(2)There is nothing left in the room.房间里啥也没剩下。2Unfortunately ，a number of students actually kill themselves.(阅读理解第一段第五句)不幸地是，很多学生自杀了。(1)A number of students are fond of music.许多学生喜欢音乐。(2)
19、The number of the students in my class is 52.我班的学生数是 52。3It is surprising that.(阅读理解第二段第一句)令人惊讶的是(1)Its strange that you should trust Jane.很奇怪你竟然相信简。(2)Its no wonder that youve achieved so much success.难怪你取得了这么多成功。(3)It turned out that our team won the game.结果我们队赢了这场比赛。(4)It matters a great deal to
20、her what other people think of her.其他人怎么看她，对她来说极为重要。答案.1.D 根据上下文可知，这里意思是：他每天要在日出之前起床。这种情况不是 “假定；打算；计划” ，是一种“ 需要 ”。2A 从本段最后一句中“evening ones”判断，意思是“晚些时候”，later 合乎文章的意思。3C take a break 是固定搭配，意思是“休息一会儿”。4B 从下文这个小男孩想寻找“金窗户”可知答案。5A thought 想，认为。句意为“他想，要是住在那里该多好啊”。6D 此处是指孩子想像窗户是金子的，那么那个房间里一定有豪华家具 “存在”。appe
21、ar，hide，gather 均不符合文意。7B 这里仍然是孩子想像的内容，句意为“如果他们买得起金窗子，那他们一定还有其他的好东西。 ”8A other 别的；another 另一个；others 是代词，相当于 other名词，不能用做定语；the other 意思是“别的所有的”。从上下文看 A 项符合这里的意思。9C 此处在段落结构和意义方面是个转折，结合第一段“他每天要在日出前起床”以及下文中出现的“the afternoon”分析，这里应该选用 morning。10D 小男孩很想出去看看那个有金窗户的地方，这次父亲让他留在家里，对他来说是个“机会”。right 权利；way 途径；
22、idea 想法。11A head 可以作名词用，意思是“头”，这里则用做不及物动词，常构成词组 head for/to，意思是 “往去” 。很明显此处不能用“爬、跳”等词。12C 句意为“随着下午时光的过去”。选项中 as 和 with 都有“随着” 的意思，但是with 不能引导从句。13B 从上下文看，很明显，这里是指“他没有看到原来所看到的金窗户”。14D in bad need of.是习惯搭配，意思是“十分需要”，作后置定语，修饰 a place。在选择时，要注意排除其他选项的关键是 of 后面的 painting。15B 上文中 a place 带有另一个定语是“surrounde
23、d by.”，这里 a brokendown fence的意思是“一段断裂、倒地的篱笆”。16C 此处的情景是孩子走上去“敲门”。17A 能与 very 和 age 同时搭配的只有 close to。18B 根据上下文情节发展，这里是“邀请他坐一会儿”。19D 此时小男孩朝家的方向看去，所以是 back。20C 根据全文的时间线索，此时应该是“日落”的时间。 “他发现他家的窗户也成金窗户了”。.1.D 细节理解题。从第一段第一、二两句话可知答案。 2B 细节理解题。从文章第一段最后一句话可知答案。3C 词义猜测题。由第三段第二行“their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams”可知。4A 理解判断题。由文章第二段第一句“.，they dont help them in any way.”可知，答案 A 不对。
