【题目】If there's one thing I' ve learned from my years of being a kid, it' s that you have ZERO control over your own life.

Ever since school ended, I haven' t had anything I' ve needed to do or anywhere I' ve needed to be. As long as the air-conditioning(空调) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.

But then, out of the blue, this happened - " Pack your bags. We' re going on a road trip ! " Mom said excitedly.

This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warming. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going .to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.

It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie !

Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going - Disney World.

I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.

But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.

We ended up putting off our tip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.

I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding" experience for the whole family.

试题分析：从小孩开始，我学到了一件事情：我没法控制自己的生活。就像妈妈带给我们的“旅行”让我不能在家里舒服的过假期，不断变化，最后也没有去我想去玩的地方。

【1】细节理解题。由“As long as the air-conditioning(空调) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.”可知我更想能在家里舒服地看电视。所以选D。

【2】推理判断题。文章3、4段描述了妈妈的“旅行”总是来得很突然，并且我很不乐意和她去这些地方。因此我对她的“旅行”是很无助的，感到没什么希望的。所以选C。

【3】推理判断题。由“She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding" experience for the whole family.”以及文章中关于妈妈的描述来看，是妈妈一直在拿主意去旅行的目的地，其他人包括我、爸爸和弟弟都只是对她产生影响，但最终决定之后我们只能听她的。所以选B。

【4】主旨大意题。文章主要是向我们介绍了童年时期妈妈的“荒唐旅行”破坏我的完美假期的经历。所以选D。

【题目】Sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch (门廊) will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Do you want more information on this brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers will unite print and broadcast reporting, and offer news and analysis with video images of news events.

Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don't need to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of ' traditional newspapers unavoidable.

Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.

【1】Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?

A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapers.

B. They are more convenient to read.

C. You can choose the kind of voice you want to hear.

【2】Which of the following is a reason why it will take a long time to complete the changeover?

A. The technology is impossible now.

B. Computer newspaper s are too expensive.

C . The popularization of computers needs a long time.

D. Traditional newspapers are easier to read.

【3】It can be inferred that journalists are against computer newspapers because ____ .

A.they don't know how to use computers

B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to read

C. they think the new technology is bad

D. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers

【4】We can infer from the passage that .

A. all technological changes are good

B. new technologies don't always replace old ones

C. new technologies will eventually replace old ones

D. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Computer newspapers are well liked.

B. Newspapers of the future will be on the computer.

C. Newspapers are out of fashion.

D. New communications technology.

【题目】“A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents' wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

【1】What problem do people ignore in the writer's opinion?

A. The school violence.

B. The pressure of students' learning.

C. The right to achieve students' potential.

D. Students' responsibilities.

【2】The writer's attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of____________.

A. dissatisfaction B. sympathy

C. understanding D. tolerance

【3】The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean_____________.

A. children don't live with their parents in the same room

B. parents care little about children's life at home

C. children spend little time with their parents at home

D. parents attempt to establish a good relationship with their children

【4】From the last paragraph, we can infer that__________.

A. Schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers

B. Teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents

C. Parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn

D. Students are responsible for making themselves known in society

【5】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Children’s behavior at school is worrying people

B. Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits

C. There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home

D. Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing
