In my childhood，how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her.

For instance，if one had not done the homework，he need not lie. She allowed us to make mistakes，saying we couldnt be perfect all the time，but we should try. Another thing she taught me early on was punctuality. She set a good example with her own behavior. She was always on time，so we students tried our best to be on time. She surprised us with her sense of humour. Her classroom teaching was always humorous. After class，she talked to us and told us jokes. We really felt free to ask questions and Mrs Pathak would give the answers. If she did not knowthere had been some occasions (场合)she would say so. We all then tried to find out the answers. Whoever came up with the answer was appreciated and given the due credit (应有的称赞)Now I sometimes wonder whether Mrs Pathak was pretending just to encourage us to explore and find answers by ourselves. 29According to the passage，which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Mrs Pathak?ATough.BHumorous.CCompassionate.DCareful.30The underlined word “punctuality” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”Abeing on timeBbeing honestCbeing patientDbeing clean31In the authors opinion，why didnt Mrs Pathak give the answers to the questions sometimes?ABecause she didnt like answering the questions.BBecause she didnt know the answers to the questions.CBecause she wanted the students to find them out by themselves.DBecause she thought the students knew the answers already.DGirls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, the leader of a group of girlsschools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure.“All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs “sport for all”. “Thats why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say.The GDST draws on research from the Womens Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests.Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says womens sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford.32. Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with?A. Those taking part in the sport are always failures.B. More should be done to make girls do sports.C. Girls are less confident than boys.D. Boys are born to be sport lovers.33. Whats the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A.1/4. B. 1/10. C. 1/5. D. 2/5.34. Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show _A. hard work will pay off.B. its not easy to be great.C. its necessary to balance work and sport.D. sport can help girls to succeed.35 . Whats the purpose of the text?A. To explain the key to success.B. To show the importance of sport.C. To introduce more games to girls.D. To encourage more girls to do sports.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and StrongAre you new to experiencing relationships?
