3.There was once a small boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to,(16)nor/neither would he wear what they wanted him to.He preferred unusual clothes,but above all,he liked taking his time.His parents were always in a rush,and wanted him to be much (17)quicker (quick),but the boy didn't like this,(18)and he would slow down even more.
One day,his parents got so angry when he refused to dress,that they told him to go out without any clothes at all.(19)Amusingly (amuse),the boy followed his parents out of the door.He held a belief (20)that nobody could do anything to him.
As the boy stood outside his house with nothing on,waiting for his parents'car,along came the local pig farmer.The farmer,(21)who was almost deaf,had very poor eyesight.Not only that,but also he(22)had forgotten/forgot (forget) his glasses that day.When he saw the boy's pink skin,he thought it was one of his pigs.Shouting and pushing,the farmer forced (23)him into a pig cage.
The boy begged him to stop but the deaf farmer couldn't hear.
When found by his parents,the terrified boy never again wanted to be mistaken(24)for anything other than a human being.Now he's the first (25)to get (get) dressed,and always looks neat.

分析 本文讲述了一个不听父母话的孩子,父母要求他穿戴整齐时,他总是不听.一天,他的父母生气了让他不穿衣服就出去,结果他真这样做了,不幸的是当他一丝不挂地站在房子外面等车的时候,一位当地养猪的农民经过,这位农民的视力很差耳朵又聋,并且还忘记了戴眼镜,当他看到男孩粉红的肌肤时,把他误认为自己养的一头猪,大呼着要把他赶进猪笼.从此,这个男孩就主动穿得整洁了,因为他不想再被别人误认为不是人.

解答 16.nor/neither;考查句式结构,因为前句中有否定词never,所以这里用nor或neither引导倒装句.表示"既不…也不…".
17.quicker;考查形容词的比较级,根据  His parents were always in a rush,可知他的父母要求他动作"更快一些",故用比较级形式.
18.and;考查连词,根据空格后面句子的意思"他甚至想慢下来",可知这里表示一种递进关系,所以用and. 
19.Amusingly;考查副词,这里用副词形式在句中作状语,表示男孩当时所处的一种心理状态.  
20.that;考查名词性从句,分析句子结构可知,这是一个同位语从句,所以要用that引导.  
21.who;考查关系代词,这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为   The farmer,所以关系代词用who,并作从句的主语.
22.had forgotten/forgot;考查动词的时态,分析句子结构,根据前后时态以及时间状语that day可知,此处可以一般过去时或过去完成时.   
23.him;考查人称代词,分析句子可知在这里需要指代的是前文提到的the boy,又用在动词force后面,所以要用宾格形式,故答案为him.     
24.for;考查介词,mistake for是固定搭配,意为"把…错认为"
25.to get;考查动词的不定式,这里用动词不定式作定语,修饰序数词 the first.

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配,给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

13.At primary school in New Zealand,I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks.When our money box was full,we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter.As a reward,we could choose our next money box from a small variety,and start the whole savings routine again.Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and"make ends meet".Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later,as a university student,I managed on an extremely small student allowance.Students were ignored by banks then,because we were so poor,and there was no way I could have gotten credit,even if I had tried.We collected our allowance three times each year,deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter,Sophie,began to walk,we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely.We often comment when the TV tells us"You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"-to whom do we really owe it?And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up?Now,as a 12-year-old child,it's almost embarrassing to see her tight"financial policy",and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important.But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
25.What did the author learn from her parents?D
A.How to become a banker.
B.Where to open a savings account.
C.Where to choose a money box.
D.How to make ends meet.
26.How did the author manage the student allowance?C
A.He applied for a credit card.
B.He spent it three times a year.
C.He put it in the bank.
D.He seldom withdrew it.
27.What reflects Sophie's tight"financial policy"?B
A.Reducing her savings.B.Buying things on sales.
C.Canceling holiday plans.D.Borrowing money from banks.
28.What's the text mainly about?D
A.Parents,money problems.
B.Students'school performance.
C.Children's saving behavior.
D.Children's financial education.
10.The Board Meeting had come to an end.Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table,spilling his coffee over his notes."How embarrassing!I am getting so clumsy in my old age."
Everyone had a good laugh,and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments.It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others.Someone said,"Come on,Frank.Tell us your most embarrassing moment."
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood."I grew up in San Pedro.My Dad was a fisherman,and he loved the sea.He had his own boat,but it was hard making a living on the sea.He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.Not just enough for our family,but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."
He looked at us and said,"I wish you could have met my Dad.He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch.When you got close to him,he smelled like the ocean.He would wear his old canvas,foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls.His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow.No matter how much my mother washed them,they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank's voice dropped a bit."When the weather was bad he would drive me to school.He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business.That truck was older than he was.It would wheeze and rattle down the road.You could hear it coming for blocks.As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear.Half the time,he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke.He would pull right up in front,and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching.Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy.It was so embarrassing for me.Here,I was twelve years old,and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He paused and then went on,"I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss.When we got to the school and came to a stop,he had his usual big smile.He started to lean toward me,but I put my hand up and said,"No,Dad."It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way,and he had this surprised look on his face.I said,"Dad,I'm too old for a goodbye kiss.I'm too old for any kind of kiss."My Dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up.Then he turned and looked out the windshield."You're right,"he said."You are a big boy…a man.I won't kiss you anymore."
Frank got a funny look on his face,and the tears began to well up in his eyes,as he spoke."It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in,but not Dad.He had a big family to feed.They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out.He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats."
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks.Frank spoke again."Guys,you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face…to smell the ocean on him…to feel his arm around my neck.I had been a man then.If I had been a man,I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

17.For over 30years,Rainbow Montessori in Addison has given children a place to grow and explore the world around them,and they're still going strong today.With 20years in the same location,the school is"not going anywhere,"says Dave Rodenborn,a son of the school's founders.As general director,Dave has overseen many improvements,including a new playground for the preschool and a complete modernization.
The school serves families of children from 6weeks to 6th grade.This allows them to have programs in baby care,preschool,kindergarten,and elementary(小学).The curriculum has developed over the decades,most notably in the Elementary.At first somewhat jokingly referred to as"Monte-sorta,"due to its relaxed application of the Montessori Method,the school's elementary now stresses a more traditional Montess environment.Montessori associates abstract concepts with concrete sensorial(感觉的) experiences,ensuring that children are involved in learning,not just memorization.Classrooms still have a creative,casual feel,with children having freedom of choice,but in keeping with Montessori principles,they work within a framework.This helps them learn about freedom within limits,maximizing their potential.
The truly international Rainbow Montessori staff comes from a wide range of backgrounds,all Montessori-trained."They are an energetic,devoted group,"says Dave."They are loyal,caring and like what they do a lot.I'd say a good 30to 40percent of them have been here for almost a decade or more."
Dave says that his favorite part of being at Rainbow Montessori is"making things grow".By that,he doesn't mean it in the sense of the organic,but by"coming up with good solutions to problems as they occur."This is reflective of Montessori beliefs,in which each child learns to use the right tools and discover solutions for themselves.Dave credits a strong staff and great parents with lots of patience for helping to make Rainbow Montessori an ideal place for children to learn and grow.

15.A.What are some things a person can do to get better sleep?
B.Why do some people have a difficult time getting good sleep?
C.What advice would you like to leave for someone who wants to sleep better?
D.What type of impact can a lack of sleep have on a person's life?
E.When do you advise parents to start sleep training-is there an ideal age?
FWhat type of professional help is available for someone who had a difficult time sleeping?
61.B
Julie's answer; There are many reasons.There could be medical issues and psychological ones.Lately,people are not putting sleep as a priority as the amount of roles people are taking on; it reduces the amount of time people have to dedicate to sleep.Also,many people that I see often express how their mood affects their sleep.It is difficult for anyone to sleep if they have a lot on their mind.Anxious thoughts can run like a record player,which doesn't allow their minds and bodies to relax enough to be able to fall asleep.
62.D
Julie's answerWell,it can affect physiologically and psychologically.Some people become irritable and lethargic.They also feel it throughout their body by rubbing their eyes,difficulty keeping their heads up,laying down,being unmotivated to do things.I find that adults are very much like this as well.Children need more sleep than adults (10-12 hours),but the results are similar to adults if adults do not get their 8 hours that is needed.However,studies do say that adults need more than 8 consistent hours of sleep to not have any of the above effects.
63.A
Julie's answerFirst,people need to prioritize sleep; if one believes that they can just"catch up"or other things matter more,then that person will never be able to improve their sleep.Secondary to create an environment that is relaxing and comfortable.That doesn't include the television or video games.The radio can be good,but it should be more soothing music.Third,you can try relaxation skills to be able to fall asleep.That can include yoga,meditating music,using imagery to fall asleep too.Finally,I often suggest to my clients to write down in a free writing style whatever is on their mind if their anxious thoughts are preventing them from sleeping.That way it is a positive release of those
thoughts Just don't read it again,or you will be putting it right back where it came from.
64.F
Julie's answerOne thing to consider and to rule out first is any medical reason for the lack of sleep.I suggest talking to your Primary Care Provider (PCP) about any physiological issues.I e next step is finding a Mental Health Professional that is a good fit for you.This could be a social worker,psychologist.a hypnotist,or a psychiatrist that could provide you with education and possible medication,if it is needed.
65.C
Julie's answer:I would suggest that you follow a protocol of trying to improve your sleep better by using positive coping skills first and if you need help in order to find those,to seek professional help because feeling rested can make an added difference to your health and mood.There are medications that of course can help you sleep,however I believe they should be used as a last resort & responsibly.
