Several years ago, people thoughtthat having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage. That wasmainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for thefamily. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higherevery single year, having a big family is no longer considered to be apractical option. In fact, more couples consider that they have only one childand some do not have any desire to become parents at all.According to theAustralian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years,were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than threechildren (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together,women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to havehad two children (46% vs. 36%).In recent years, women were more likely to havehad two children than three or more children – a trend that was most marked inthe most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days,most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women who hadgiven birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to13% in 2006.The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children'spopulation compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。Several years ago, people thought that having big families wasA. uncommon and this was seen as anadvantageB. common and this was seen as a disadvantageC. common and this wasseen as an advantage2.

Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, betterknown as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of theOld West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With hisfirst wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 tohomestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhapshe was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, afew years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as CaliforniaGulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen.“Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said. As it turned out,it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville's fortune and wealth. Taborknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which soldeverything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco.『It was his custom to“grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food andsupplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he wouldget a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number ofyears, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value. Finally one dayin the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”.Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money thatway. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them.“Oh help yourself. One more time won't make any difference,” He said and wenton selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth ofsupplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in theirfindings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig.After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares ofthe other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known asthe “Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1 300 000 for Tabor in return for his $17investment. Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillsidejust outside the town for $117 000. This turned out to be even more fabulousthan the Pittsburgh, yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time.Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenantgovernor of the state.操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。 Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT .A. becauseTabor became its leading citizenB. because great deposits of lead is expectedto be found thereC. because it could bring good fortune to Tabor2.

Passage 9English is spoken as a native language by around 377million people, and as a second language by around 375 million speakers in theworld. Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those whospeak it as a first language. Around 750 million people are believed to speakEnglish as a foreign language. English has an official or a special status in75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion.The domination of theEnglish language globally is a sure thing. English is the language ofinternational communications, business, tourism, education, science, computertechnology, media and the Internet. British colonialism in the 19th century andAmerican capitalism and technological progress in the 20th century wereundoubtedly the main causes for the spread of English throughout the world.From the fifteenth century, the British began to sail all over the world andbecame explorers, colonists and imperialists. They took the English language tomany places. For the last hundred years, the USA has played a leading role inmost parts of the world. The Hollywood film industry also attracted manyforeign artists in quest of fame and fortune and the number of American filmsproduced every year soon flooded the market.However, the future of English as aglobal language will depend very largely on the political, economic,demographic and cultural trends in the world. 1.English is spoken as a secondlanguage by around 377 million people in the world.A.T B.F2.Speakers of Englishas a second language are more than those who speak it as a first language.A.TB.F3.It is not surprising that 70% of all information stored in the internet isin English.A.

Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America,where there are those individuals, you may be one of them who yawn or evenfrown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hourswatching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staringaway while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game bettersuited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same peopleyou may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport thatglorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.OnTV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close ups. Thegeometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You willcontemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, ofcourse, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the gameaffords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it foryou.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugoutand you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. Hisarms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of anyother sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time thepitcher throws:the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bringthe glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward orforward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’sposition. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I couldhave had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. Andthis involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to musicis. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot;smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of thebat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement andtheatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, choresand responses. 1.The passage is mainly concerned with.A.the attraction ofbaseball B.the different characteristics of sportsC.the attraction offootball2.Those who don’t like baseball may complain that.A.it is only to thetaste of the oldB.it involves fewer players than footballC.it is not excitingenough3.The author admits that .A.baseball is too peaceful for theyoungB.baseball may seem boring when watched on TVC.football is more attractingthan baseball4.By stating “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means(4th paragraph last sentence).A.The third baseman would rather sleep than playthe game.B.Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it couldmake no difference to the result.C.The third baseman is so good at baseballthat he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well.5.We can safely conclude that the author.A.likes baseball B.hatesfootballC.hates baseball答案:A# C# B# B# A107.Passage 12Parenting is hard. If you're a parent,I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you'remanaging children, it can be difficult to remember that they are stilllearning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to,here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working onthis for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both thekids and me.If you are having an argument with your child, you need to makesure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time tothink and really listen to each other, which is important.?Kids are more likelyto listen to you if you listen to them!One of your biggest struggles is toremind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that youryoungest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect –taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a bigdifference.You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take ina deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling,you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making thingsquieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the betteryou'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understandeach other.If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listento you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kidsare still learning and they're not going to be perfect.1.As a parent, you mayknow that parenting is an easy job.A.T B.F2.Listening to each other is a goodway to stop argument between parents and their kids.A.TB.F3.Usually youngerkids behave less responsibly than elder children.A.TB.F4.Parents should lowertheir expectations for their kids.A.TB.F5.Both yelling and whispering can helpmake things quieter.A.T B.

But a big idea in highereducation these days is Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. Someuniversities offer free, non-credit MOOCs available to anyone in the world.Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology started its first MOOC in 2012. Theschool plans to offer many free, non-credit courses through a project calledMITx. Many Chinese universities are beginning to offer free MOOCs now too.Nowadays, MOOCs almost cover every topic, like computer science, technology,mechanics, engineering, languages, etc. Generally speaking, there are no formaleducation requirements for these free online courses. Students watch shortvideos. Then, they take informal, ungraded quizzes after the videos each weekfor certain weeks. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to keep studentsengaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that theyunderstood what was covered. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take thequizzes whenever they want. Students receive homework. They can join onlinegroups to exchange questions and answers about the courses. The teachers holdvirtual office hours to answer questions that the students have posted. Theyalso present their own questions and observations.Some supporters claimed thatthere are things that we can do better in the online format. We can certainlydeliver high-quality education to many students at much lower cost.1.startedits first MOOC in 2012.A.The Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyB.HarvardUniversityC.A Chinese university2.Which is not true about the free onlinecourses?.A.Students can watch short videos.B.Students may ask the teachers somequestions.
