3．For long，a little boy was wondering why his deskmate could rank 1st in the class whenever he wanted to，while he himself failed to：he only ranked 21st．
At home，he asked his Mom，"Mom，am I more （36）C than others？I feel I am as obedient and as careful as him，but （37）B I always fall behind？"Hearing the words，Mom was aware that her son began to （38）B the sense of self-respect，which was now being injured by the ranking system． （39）C at him，she went wordless，not knowing （40）D to explain．
In another test，the son ranked 17th，while his deskmate remained 1st．Back home，he （41）A the same question．Mom really wanted to inform her son that （42）A differs，which means that students ranking 1st are supposed to be cleverer than normal ones． （43）D，was this discouraging answer the one that her son was constantly （44）B about？Thank goodness she did not open her mouth．
How to answer her son's question？There were times when she felt an urge to say，"You are too lazy．You are not as hard-working as others…"but she stopped （45）D imagining her son suffering from the pains of unsatisfied grades and rankings．She thought it （46）A to put any additional burden on his son and was trying to find out a perfect answer．
Time passing swiftly，the son （47）C primary school．Despite studying harder and better，he was still unable to keep up with his deskmate．To show her pride of him，Mom decided to （48）B him to the sea．During the trip，she managed to give out an answer．
Now，the son no longer worries about his （49）D，and there are no boring guys who would inquire his grades in primary school，because，（50）C the 1st ranking，he is admitted to Tsinghua University．Back home in winter vacation，he was invited to （51）C the students and parents in his high school．In the speech，he mentioned a valuable experience in his childhood，"…When my mother and I were lying on the（52）D，she pointed to the front and said，‘Do you see the seabirds struggling for food over there？When the waves come near，little birds can rise （53）A while awkward seagulls would take more time to complete the process．However，have you noticed birds that finally fly （54）C the endless ocean are none other than awkward seagulls？'"The speech （55）B many mothers present to tears，including his mother．

分析 怀疑自己比其他人笨的作者，以第一名的成绩被清华大学录取后，一次演讲让在场的很多母亲，包括他自己的母亲都感动得留下了眼泪．

解答 36-40 CBBCD 41-45 AADBD 46-50 ACBDC 51-55 CDACB
36．C考查形容词词义辨析 根据上文"他的同桌排第一名，而他仅排21名"可知他怀疑自己比其他人笨．considerate"体贴的，体谅的"； careless"粗心的，草率的"；clever"聪明的"．
37．B考查固定用法小男孩儿问妈妈："…但是，我怎么总是落后？"how come"怎么会"；what if"如果…怎么办"；how about"…好吗，…行吗"；what for"为什么"．故选B．
38．B考查动词词义辨析母亲意识到儿子开始有了自尊感．have表示"拥有"．
39．C考查动词短语  凝视着儿子，她无言以对．stare at"凝视"；shout at"对…大声喊"；glare at"用愤怒的目光注视"；point at"指向"．故C项符合语境．
40．D细节理解题   母亲无言以 对，不知该如何解释这件事．
41．A考查动词词义辨析在另一次考试之后，儿子提出了相同的问题．raise表示"提出，提起"．
42．A细节理解题从该空后的be cleverer than normal ones可知，妈妈想告诉儿子这是智力上的不同造成的．
43．D考查连词词义辨析由此处的疑问句可知，母亲在犹豫要不要告诉孩子这个令人丧气的答案，因此此处和上文是转折关系．故用However．
44．B考查形容词词义辨析难道这个令人失望的回答就是儿子一直想知道的问题的答案吗？enthusiastic"满腔热情的，热心的"，crazy"发疯的，疯狂的"，clear"清楚的"，均不符合语境．
45．D考查连词词义辨析想到儿子因不理想的成绩和排名所遭受的痛苦时，她没有这样说．when 表示"在…时"，符合语境．
46．A考查形容词词义辨析她认为把任何额外的负担加到儿子身上都是残忍的．后三项分别表示"重要的""令人失望的""必要的"，均不符合语境．
47．C细节理解题根据文中的Time passing swiftly可知他读完了小学．
48．B考查动词词义辨析母亲带着儿子去海边．take somebody to someplace"带某人到某地去"．
49．D根据上下文由上文可知他很担心自己的排名，所以以第一名的成绩被清华大学录取后，他不再担心自己的排名了．homework"作业"，belongings"所有物； 财物"，health"健康"，均不符合语境．
50．C考查介词词义辨析他以第一名的成绩被清华大学录取了．with表示"用，以"，符合语境．
51．C考查动词词义辨析他被邀请到高中时的母校给学生和家长们做演讲．address"对…说话"，符合语境．deliver可表示"发言，授课，讲话"，但应该用deliver a speech to somebody．
52．D根据上下文根据上文中说到的母子到海边的事情，可知这里指海滩（beach）．
53．A根据上下文根据该空后的take more time to complete the process可知，此处表示"当海浪逼近时，小鸟迅速地飞起"．
54．C考查动词词义辨析居然是海鸥最终飞越了无边无际的海洋．fly across"飞越"，符合语境．
55．B考查固定用法他的演讲让在场的很多母亲，包括他自己的母亲都感动得留下了眼泪．move sb．to tears表示"让某人感动得流下了眼泪"，是固定用法，故选B

点评 完型填空，解题时要抓住文章的脉络，一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系．答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系．对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来．答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯．

20．I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Macau．Coming from cold and cloudy England，I was prepared for the sun and dresssed in a T-shirt and a short skirt．Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin，my legs are very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable（时尚的） look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin．The darker the skin，the better the look．
As I walked around one shop，the two shop assistants didn't take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop，she asked me what was wrong．I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin．My friend laughed．"They were not laughing at you．They were saying how nice your legs are．Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours．In fact，there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them．"
It just goes to show that we always think what others have is better．The grass is always greener on the other side．If the women of the West and East thought the same way，Western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter．

81．What is the writer telling about？
her first shopping in Macau
82．What did the writer prepare to do during her visit？
She prepared to enjoy the sun and get darker skin
83．Why did the writer want to leave the shop at once？
Because she thought the shop assistants were laughing at her white skin．
84．Why did the writer think the shop girls were laughing at her？
Because they didn't take their eyes off her the whole time
85．What does the underlined sentence"The grass is always greener on the other side"mean？
It means people always think what others have is better．
1．The bridgebeing built at the moment will be the longest one in this area．
11．Should parents ever hit their children？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking（打屁股） has been falling over the years．But surverys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers（同等的人）．It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterpoductive（反作用的） to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打） on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾气）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment．
57．According to the first three paragraphs，the author was probably hit by her parents whenB．
A．they were dissatisfied with her grade    
B．she showed no respect for the elder
C．they cannot control their temper   
D．their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
58．According to Murray Straus，children who are physically punishedD．
A．are less aggreesive toward others when they get older
B．have slower physical development
C．benefit from occasional spanking
D．may develop lower IQs than their peer
59．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？D
A．40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B．Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C．Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D．Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
60．The author seems to agree thatC．
A．parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
B．children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C．good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
D．physical punishment should be the last resort of any parent．
