A

Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places：

·Visit art museums.They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest.Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces，traveling exhibits，book signings(签名)by children's favorite writers，and even musical performances and other arts.

·Head to a natural history museum.This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky.Also，ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.

·Go to a Youtheater.Look for one in your area offering plays for

child and family visitors.Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts.Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.

·Try hands-on_science．Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country.These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike.They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons，experimenting，and building.When everyone is tired，enjoy a fun family science show，commonly found in these museums.

语篇解读：本文体裁为应用文，向家长介绍了几个新的令孩子们兴奋的去处——四座风格各异的博物馆。

1．If a child is interested in the universe，he probably will visit________.

A．a Y outheater

B．an art museum

C．a natural history museum

D．a hands-on science museum

解析：细节理解题。第三段第二句中的“pictures of stars in the sky”可知，如果孩子对宇宙感兴趣，可以去自然历史博物馆。

答案：C

2．What can kids do at a Youtheater?

A．Look at rock collections. B．See dinosaur models.

C．Watch puppet making. D．Give performances.

解析：细节理解题。依据第四段的“Puppet(木偶)making and stage make up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find”可知答案。

答案：C

3．What does “hands-on science”mean in the last paragraph?

A．Science games designed by kids.

B．Learning science by doing things.

C．A show of kids'science work.

D．Reading science books.

解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.”可知答案。无论是按动按钮、做实验还是进行建造，这些都是动手能力的培养，因此可以猜测出画线部分指的是通过动手来学习科学知识。

答案：B

4．Where does this text probably come from?

A．A science textbook. B．A tourist map.

C．A museum guide. D．A news report.

解析：推理判断题。全文介绍的四个主要去处中除了Go to a Youtheater之外，其他三个都有museum这个关键词，因此可知本篇

文章实际上是选自有关博物馆介绍方面的指南。B项干扰性很强，但是该选项的中心词是map而不是tourist。

答案：C

B

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it.Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper －a little bird called a honey guide.

The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)．The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees' nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest，the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

语篇解读：有一种鸟，能轻易找到蜂蜜，并借助人或其他动物的帮助，得到自己喜欢的蜂蜡。非洲森林中一种蜂蜜竟然将人或其他动物与这种鸟儿联系在一起，它们大家各取所需。

5．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?

A．It's small in size. B．It's hidden in trees.

C．It's covered with wax. D．It's hard to recognize.

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.”可知答案。野蜂窝难找是因为它通常都是隐藏在很高的树上。

答案：B

6．What do the words “the follower”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．A bee. B．A bird.

C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.

解析：词义猜测题。画线词指的是前面的“passing animals and people”或“the curious animal or person”，这些动物或人都是来找蜂蜜的。

答案：C

7．The honey guide is special in the way________．

A．it gets its food B．it goes to church

C．it sings in the forest D．it reaches into bees'nests

解析：推理判断题。这种蜂蜜向导的特殊之处就在于它们获得食物的方式与众不同。根据第二段的叙述可知，这种鸟以一种蜂蜡为食，但是这种蜂蜡在蜂窝深处，它们够不到，于是它们便找来喜欢蜂蜜的帮手相助。

答案：A

8．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey

C．Beekeeping in Africa D．Honey-Lover's Helper

解析：标题判断题。本文主要讲述的是非洲森林里的一种奇特的动物——一种蜂蜜向导，它们帮助喜爱蜂蜜的人或其他动物寻找蜂蜜，并得到自己想要的蜂蜡，D项既概括了全文主旨，又不失风趣，helper一词很传神。为了得到不同的食物，人、动物和鸟儿互相帮助，各取所需。

答案：D

C

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene.Although our “act” would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things.

We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene，setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon，bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in “snow”．Two more fans were turned on，and a “strong wind”blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

The next scene was a complete contrast(对比)．The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.By a simple trick like this，palm trees，sandy beaches，and blue，clear skies had been brought into the studio!

Since it was our turn next，we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！

语篇解读：本文体裁为记叙文。作者以第一人称的形式介绍了他们约二十人被荣幸地选为群众演员，在一部电影里扮演角色的情景，

虽然只有短短三分钟，但他们感觉很兴奋，过了把当电影“明星”的瘾。

9．Who is the author?

A．A cameraman.

B．A film director.

C．A crowd-scene actor.

D．A workman for scene setting.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“to take part in a crowd-scene”可知答案，即作者是一名群众演员。

答案：C

10．What made the author feel cold?

A．The heavy snowfall. B．The man-made scene.

C．The low temperature. D．The film being shown.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后三句可知答案。

答案：B

11．What would happen in the “three minutes”mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．A new scene would be filmed.

B．More stars would act in the film.

C．The author would leave the studio.

D．The next scene would be prepared.

解析：推理判断题。文章的最后一段说，接下来轮到作者演出了，

作者不知道将为他们准备什么场景。在“我们”一生中足足有三分钟的时间里，“我们”将会体验作为电影“明星”的兴奋。暗示出在接下来的三分钟里，将要拍摄新的场景了。

答案：A

D

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since.A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle，twinkle，little star”or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle，twinkle，little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development.

语篇解读：本文是一篇科普文章，向我们介绍了什么是过度学习，以及过度学习与突击学习的对比及不同效果等。

12．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.

B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.

C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

D．Stories for children are easy to remember.

解析：主旨大意题。第一段的第一句就是该段的主题句。成年人常常感到很吃惊，孩子时记住的东西，以后从来没有练习过却能记得那么好。

答案：A

13．The author explains the law of overlearning by________．

A．presenting research findings

B．setting down general rules

C．making a comparison

D．using examples

解析：细节理解题。文章用了很多的例子来支持所陈述的观点。如第一段在陈述了观点之后便列举了儿时学游泳、骑自行车、接球和击球、记住诗歌和童话故事等多个例子。

答案：D

14．According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is________．

A．a result of overlearning

B．a special case of cramming

C．a skill to deal with math problems

D．a basic step towards advanced studies

解析：推理判断题。文章的中心就是阐述overlearning“过度学习”。

答案：A

15．What is the author's opinion on cramming?

A．It leads to failure in college exams.

B．It's helpful only in a limited way.

C．It's possible to result in poor memory.

D．It increases students'learning interest.

解析：观点态度题。突击学习可能能应付考试但却不足以应付大学课程的学习，因为容易忘记，即它的作用是有限的。

答案：B

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Kids' health：Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time.__16__Some ways of dealing with stress－like screaming or hitting someone－don't solve(解决) much.But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：

(1)Get support.When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives.__17__They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet.

(2)Don't take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves.Oh，dear，that's not a good idea.Remember that there are always people to help you.Don't take it out on yourself.__18__

(3)Try to solve the problem.After you're calm and you have

support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business.__19__Even if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it.

(4)Be positive.Most stress is temporary(暂时的)．Remember stress does go away，especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic，but they do work.And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster.__20__

A．Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B．Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

C．Different people feel stress in different ways.

D．Ah，it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E．You need to figure out what the problem is.

F．And don't forget about your friends.

G．Then，find a way to calm down.

语篇解读：本文体裁为说明文，向我们介绍了抗击压力的一些方法。

16．解析：选项C中的“in different ways”与原文后的“Some ways”和“other ways”所列举的两类不同的解压方法相对应。

答案：C

17．解析：该空后的人称代词They是解题的关键，通过整理可

知they应该指代friends。friends也与前面的句子相呼应，即：跟你信任的成年人交谈，比如父(母)亲、亲戚，当然也不要忘记你的朋友。

答案：F

18．解析：该空前面的两个句子都是祈使句形式，根据前面一句don't祈使句，可知此空很可能填肯定形式的祈使句。再根据句意，前文说不要把压力都强加给自己，则可推出下文是找别人帮忙。

答案：A

19．解析：该空后的it是解题的关键，通读整段可得知，it是指代problem。

答案：E

20．解析：根据上文可知答案。“feel better”和D项的“feels so good”是相对应的。

答案：D

Clearly，a great deal is going on when people__36__.And only a part of it is in the words themselves.And when parties are from__37__cultures，there's a strong possibility of__38__.But whatever the situation，the best__39__is to obey the Golden Rule：treat others as you would like to be__40__.
