Until then she had been a bright, 1 woman deeply interested and involved in the worldaround her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a(an)2 way and ask, “Who are you?'Twould answer,'Tm your son. “Where do you live?”She would ask. "In California,5I would tell her.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.For instance, a little child's pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveiies. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child's safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child's attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen's need for independence.The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can appear to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn't mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child's behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they're dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.1、According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior.A. is very changeableB. is inacceptableC. occurs at different levelsD. is fully understood by adults2、The example in Paragraph 2 mainly shows that.A. parents should properly punish child behaviorB. parents should keep children's safety in mindC. children's behavior shows their interestsD. there are different attitudes to child behavior3、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. The child will insist on doing things with determination.B. The child will have to make frequent decisions.C. The child will make new discoveries in the future.D. The child will develop a strong sense of achievement.4、It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that.A. child behavior usually reflects a child's needB. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspectsC. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parentsD. children spending time with friends show their selfishness5、What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child's behavior?A. Have a positive attitude towards it.B. Ignore the improper behavior.C. View it at the basic level.D. Watch over it from head to foot.Text 2About 15 years ago, I taught A Problem from Hell, a book on genocides (大屠杀),to a group of 18- and 19-year-olds in a mid-west university in the US. In my class there was a young man who had spent his boyhood in Bosnia as NATO bombed his hometown. My other students, amazed by his connection to the genocide in the textbook, asked him what it was like to grow up in a war-zone. tA pretty normal childhood as you had here J he said. "We played cards inside a lot, and when there was nobombing we kicked a ball in the street.”In the past few years, the world has seen a rapid increase in refugees (难民),with the number hitting 60 million. Viet Thanh Nguyen's story collection The Refugees reminds us that literature is news that stays news. Set in the Vietnamese communities in California as well as in Vietnam, the stories do not aim to surprise us with new twists or shock us with wonderful details, as war and refugee stories could easily choose to do. Rather, like the young man from Bosnia, Nguyen's characters tell these stories because they are the only ones known to them.Included in the collection are two of the most touching pieces, both about siblings (兄弟或姊妹)separated by geography and history. In "Black-Eyed Women”, the narrator (讲述人),a young Vietnamese woman, is visited by the ghost of her elder brother, who died young on the boat when the family took flight from the war. The tale of love and loss, violence and violation, may not be unfamiliar to the reader, but the determination of the brother's ghost (he has taken decades to swim across the Pacific to reach America) and the sister's abandoning herself to a half death make the story lasting.As an echo, the closing story, “Fatherland”, explores a more complex situation between two siblings. The narrator, a young Vietnamese woman, meets her half-sister, visiting from the US for the first time. Adding to the tension is the fact that her father has named the narrator and her siblings after his first set of children. Two sisters, one American and one Vietnamese, yet named the same by the father - it may sound strange, but isn't it the fate many refugees have to face: a life left behind, that could have been theirs; and a life in an adopted country.The theme of doubleness 一 choice and inevitability (彳:可避免t生),home and homelessness, starting afresh and being stuck - is present not only in the stories of Vietnamese refugees, but also of those who have become refugees from their own homes and loved ones. "Smiling at your relatives never got you very far, but smiling at strangers and acquaintances sometimes did." So a pilot, who fought in the Vietnam war and is now revisiting the country fbr the first time, thinks while waving at the locals from a tour bus. He's distant from his daughter Just as a Mexican American in the collection is distant from his wife, or a young man from Hong Kong is distant from his father.The collection is full of refugees, whether from external or from a deeper, more internal conflict between even those who are closest to each other. With anger but not despair, with reconciliation (和解)but not unrealistic hope, and with genuine humour that is not used to insult anyone, Nguyen has breathed life into many unforgettable characters.1、The first paragraph is intended to .A. describe the boring life of war victimsB. appeal to the readers to help war victimsC. criticize NATO's killing of innocent peopleD. introduce the story collection The Refugees 2、Which of the following about The Refugees is True?A.

The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible forl4.5 percent of global greenhouse gas methane(甲烷)emissions(排放).While cows are the worse contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources,While going vegetarian(素食的)would help meat consumption too deep - rooted in most western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects !Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic(驯养的)animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animalsOf the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1.700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meatWhile eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated(饱和)at found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects -both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it !1、Which of the following animals are responsible for the most global methane emissions?A. CowsB. PigsC. SheepD. Donkeys2、How is the third paragraph mainly developed?A. By asking questionsB. By providing examples.D. By making comparisons.C. By listing the numbers3、What do tree worms taste like?A. Pig meatB. Tomato soup. C. Fresh vegetables. D. Fried chicken.4> What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high in fat.C. Saturated fat is harmful to health.D. Insects contain various vitaminsText 4Tired of eating at the same boring restaurants? Looking for a change?
