分析 本文作者主要讲述了在女儿"小六评估考试（UPSR）"成绩公布的那一天里，亲眼目睹了一位母亲安慰自己考试没能得5A的孩子这一过程，从而有感而发；作者认为：作为家长不应该在孩子的学习上施加太多的压力，应该还给孩子原本属于他们的快乐；让孩子掌握生存技能要比只是深挖学校里的教材更重要，所以作者号召家长们应教孩子们如何成为一个人，如何与他人交流，如何帮助别人，识别"坏人"；即教给他们如何在现实世界里生存．

解答 答案：
16．A   考查上下文语义理解    根据上文提到的情景：这是在"小六评估考试（UPSR）"成绩即将出来的那一天，以及下文"beating hearts…（心脏不停地跳）"及"Now I was among the anxious parents（现在我正处在焦急的父母行列中）"可推测出，不论学生还是家长对此次考试成绩都很重视，很紧张；故选A
17．B   考查上下文语义理解    根据下文提到了家长与学生的互动以及眼神的交流可知，此处的意思应是：他们的眼睛都在找着家长；故选B
18．D   考查上下文语义理解    根据上文"Now I was among the anxious parents，sitting behind my daughter"可知，作者是坐在了女儿的后面；故推测出，她女儿应该是回过头来看着她，并向她挥手；故选D
19．A   考查上下文语义理解   根据上文"Pupils were laughing with their peers or talking non-stop"学生在不停地说笑着，等着考试成绩的揭晓；可推测出，在老师来了之后，这些嘈杂声应该是逐渐褪去了；decreased意为：减少，减小；故选A
20．C  考查上下文语义理解    根据本句中的"5As"可知，此处指的应是学生的得分；score意为：得分；故选C
21．B  考查上下文语义理解     根据转折连词"but"可知，此处表达的应是与作者"I felt fine"相反的反应；即女儿哭了；故选B
22．A   考查上下文语义理解   承接上文，此处表示作者对女儿为什么哭而进行的猜测；也许她没有料到会得5A；expect意为：料想；故选A
23．D   考查上下文语义理解    根据下文"I thought she was the parent of the last pupil"（我以为她是最后一个得5A的学生的家长），可推测出，此处指的应是：在叫到最后一个名字之后；故选D 
24．D  考查上下文语义理解   根据上文"I thought she was the parent of the last pupil，but I was wrong．"可知，这位母亲的女儿并没有得5A，以及根据下一段"I sympathize with that mother and fully appreciate what she did"作者很欣赏那位母亲的做法，可知这里指的应是那位母亲急于去安慰自己没有得5A的女儿：她只是哭着从后面冲了过去；"dash"意为：猛冲，撞击；故选D
25．A  考查上下文语义理解     结合上下文可知，此处描述的是那位母亲在安慰自己的女儿，即：她拥抱了坐在前排的女儿；故选A
26．B   考查上下文语义理解   承接上文可知，本句的意思是：说她没得5A也没什么大不了的；故选B

28．C    考查上下文语义理解      根据上文提到那位母亲哭过，故本句的意思应是：她一边走一边擦着眼睛；故选C
29．C   考查上下文语义理解   根据上文作者表达了自己很欣赏那位母亲的做法，即很理解体谅自己的孩子；故可推测出此处的意思应是：我们给这些12岁的孩子施加了多少压力？pressure"压力"；故选C
30．A  考查上下文语义理解       承接上一句可知，本句的意思是：理应属于他们的快乐在哪里？joy名词："快乐，高兴"故选A
31．B    考查上下文语义理解    根据上一句"As a parent，I think scoring top marks is not the main thing in life．"（作为一名家长，我认为得最高的分数不是生活中的主要事情）可知，此处表达了作者这样的观点，即：生存技能要比只是深挖学校里的教材更重要；故选B
32．C    考查上下文语义理解    根据上文作者强调了掌握生存技能的重要性以及下文"Let them play，cycle and climb trees"（让他们玩，骑自行车和爬上树），可知此处的意思应是：所以让你的孩子就做小孩应有的样子；故选C
33．A     考查句意理解    本句的意思是：他们的一生中将只有做一次小孩子的机会；故选A
34．D     考查上下文语义理解       承接上一句可知，本句的意思是：所以不要剥夺了他们的童年；故选D
35．C     考查句意理解    本句的意思是：让我们教我们的孩子如何成为一个人，如何与他人交流，如何帮助别人，识别"坏人"；故选C

点评 做本题时，首先要通读全文，掌握文章大意；其次找到每一小题的考查点，然后结合本文的主旨大意以及根据上下文所表达的意思进行分析判断，从而选出正确答案；做类似的题时，有时除了需要在理解的基础上作答之外，还应注意词义辨析，这就需要平时增加词汇量的积累，并注意区分它们之间的用法区别．

As the old saying go，"East，west，home's best．"I lived in a house in countryside．There's a big living room，three bedrooms，a kitchen and a washroom in it．Some trees and flowers are around my house．The air is really clean．And I often hear birds sung．
There have four people in my family．They're my parents，my sister and I．We're helpfully and friendly．And they always get on well with each other．
I'm happy I have a good family．I will do how I can to help do more housework and farm works．I'll study more harder than ever before so that I can make more money in the future．With our effort，I'm sure my home will be better and better．
8．The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women．During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a woman's life spent in caring for children．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，four or five of whom lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work．Today women marry older and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has to take care of children，her work is lightened by modem living conditions．
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left schooL However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．
Today the school-leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women usually marry older，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Many more afterwards return to full or part-time work．Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them．

24．At what age did most women marry around the year 1890according to the passage？A
A．At about twenty-five．
B．In their early fifties．
C．At the age of fifteen．
D．At any age from fifteen to forty-five．
25．What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900？D
A．The youngest child could live to fifteen．
B．Four or five children died after they were five．
C．Seven or eight children lived to be more than five．
D．Some children died when they were very young．
26．When she was over fifty，a late nineteenth-century motherD．
A．was usually expected to die fairly soon
B．would expect to work until she died
C．would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs
D．was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to
27．What do we know from the passage？A
A．Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home．
B．More and more women are looked down upon by husbands．
C．Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs．
D．A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children．

5．Helen Keller was born on June 27，1880．Though Keller was one of the most famous women in the world during her life，most people now don't know her as the woman she was：the activist，peacemaker and women's rights advocate （提倡者．）．
 As is the case with many great women，Helen Keller has been lost in history because we don't tell her full story．Far too often we remember famous women for simply one thing．For instance，we remember Rosa Parks as the woman who refused to get off the bus because she was tired．In reality，she was a long-time civil rights activist who was tired of being mistreated because she was a"woman of color．
 Behind these images are stories of amazing women who changed our world-Helen Keller fought tirelessly for women's voting right and spent years advocating improvements in women's and children's health．Throughout her adult life，she supported efforts to make reproductive healthcare accessible to women in extreme poverty and created a close relationship with Margaret Sanger，the founder of Planned Parenthood．
 At a time when very few women worked outside the home and there were only a handful of women in public office Keller--who couldn't see or hear-traveled to 39 countries，bringing hope and inspiration to millions．Most notably，she served as a US peace ambassador to Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima （广岛），receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom，America's highest civilian honor in 1964．
 Keller's name can still be seen across the globe today．Travel to almost any Country in the world and you'11 find Helen Keller schools and organizations working on behalf of women and people with disabilities．Let's remember Keller in her entirety．Next time some people mention the"Miracle Worker"，ask them if they know what happened to Helen Keller．If they don't，it's your chance to tell her whole story．
56．What's the main idea of this passage？A
 A．People should remember Helen Keller in her entirety．
 B．People should honour Helen Keller for ever．
 C．Disabled people should learn from Helen Keller．
 D．Why Helen Keller is internationally known．
57．The author takes Rosa Parks for example to show that．C
 A．Helen Keller was as great a woman as Rosa Parks*
 B．many great women made great contributions to our world
 C．people don't know the whole stories of many great women
 D．Many great women have been forgotten by people
58．Which of the following events indicates that Helen Keller was a peacemaker？D
 A．She built a close relationship with Margaret Sanger．
 B．She built many schools and organizations working for the disabled．
 C．She brought hope and inspiration to the people of 39 countries．
 D．She served as a US peace ambassador to Japan．
59．The phrase"Miracle Worker"in the last paragraph refers to．D
 A．a worker who has made great achievements

 C．a great woman like Helen Keller
 D．Helen Keller herself．
12．Are you looking forward to visiting the Palace Museum yourself or ____ there？（　　）

8．首先请阅读下列各种对食物、环境等问题的思想和观点介绍：
A．"Organic produce is always better，"Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides （农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty．"Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．
B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market，"said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business．
C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass，paper，plastic，and metal containers are produced，and these are difficult to get rid of．
D．However，today，more and more consumers are choosing"green"and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product，they ask questions like these："Will this shampoo damage the environment？""Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once？"
E．Only a few years ago，it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets，but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels （标签） to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing （制造） of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising．
F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of"Buy it，use it，throw it away，and forget it．"The public pressure is on，and gradually business is cleaning up its act．

请将以下相关信息内容与适合的思想、观点匹配起来
46．I'm very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden，for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides．A
47．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked．E
48．How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood!But everything has changed，that is，the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were．Above all，a great deal of waste hardly rots away．C
49．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment，which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up．F
50．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people，but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides．B．
