10、 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）AMy fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed travelers checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could:
11、when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; d
12、rew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people. During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapo
13、ol. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didnt hold water
14、 in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?
15、”, I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no adv
16、ice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your chi
17、ld returns with dust on his shoes from a country youve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week. 21. During the trip, the authors son _.A. ran out of money B. had inadequate sleepC. forgot to call his mother D. failed to take good pictures22. According to the passage, which of the fol
18、lowing could best describe the authors son?A. Polite and careless. B. Creative and stubborn.C. Considerate and independent. D. Self-centered and adventurous.23. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?A. It is important to listen to your childs story.B. Its easy to interr
19、upt the chat with your child.C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.24. What can we infer from the passage?A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read
20、only one page.C. Its a nice choice to give a child space to experience and explore. D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.BGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not
21、had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the po
22、em that begins “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of over learning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In c
23、hildhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle， twinkle，little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn
24、 but over learn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we over learn in childhood.The law of over learning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination，though it m
25、ay result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning，on the other hand，is really necessary for ones f
26、uture development.25What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhood.BChildren have a better memory than grown-ups.CPoem reading is a good way to learn words.DStories for children are easy to remember.26The author explains the law of over learning by_Apresent
27、ing research findings Bsetting down general rulesCmaking a comparison Dusing examples27According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is_Aa result of over learning Ba special case of crammingCa skill to deal with math problems Da basic step towards advanced studies28What is the auth
28、ors opinion on cramming?AIt leads to failure in college exams. BIts helpful only in a limited way.CIts possible to result in poor memory. DIt increases students learning interest.CA bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick
29、to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at 1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attrac
30、tion of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to 1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even th
31、e poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesnt. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper. The real danger starts when unnecessary things become bargains. Many people just canno
32、t resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw（电锯） as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been tru
33、ly cheap.Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “Ive had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for 120, reduced from 400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for 600, reduced from 900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted
34、 720. She feels as though she had made 580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and gran
35、dchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didnt know where to store it until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar t
36、o put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right. 63. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious
37、.64. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Good quality. B. Low price. C. Newness. D. Curiosity.65. How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?A. Its a gift for poor people. B. Its an offense to shoppers.C. Its a bargain worth trying. D. Its a real reduction in
38、 price. 66. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Bargains are things people dont really need. B. Bargains are often real cheap products.C. Bargains help people make a living. D. Bargains play tricks on people.DCamp All-StarOne of a Kind Summer Camps for KidsWelcome to Camp All-Star

This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning thing
47、s. 36 Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind. 37 Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the “holy curiosity“. Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface i

Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possibilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 38 Even if they dont yet hav
