“A very disruptive(调皮捣蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “ I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” 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 with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring 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 behaviour of their parents.
My members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupil’s parents. One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.
Children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours every day. They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers(同龄人) and to learn the rules of social behavior.
Children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, writes in today’s Observer. Instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their children’s behaviour and wellbeing, she adds. Bousted says one mother blamed staff when she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking.
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(沉迷于) 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 behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. 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.
小题1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A.The violence in the school
B.The study pressure of students.

试题分析:文章的主要内容是小孩儿在学校里面的表现差,甚至有暴力的倾向。在学校有时候对老师造成了伤害,其中的一个原因是家庭原因,是受了他们父母的影响。在家里,他们没有得到应有的教育,他们不会和别人交往,很多的父母把约束控制孩子的责任推给了老师,他们缺少与孩子的沟通教育。孩子把大多数在家的时间花在了单独相处或者沉溺于电脑游戏上。这是造成孩子没有得到良好发展的原因。
小题1:C段落理解题。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 with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.大意为:不管孩子的出生环境怎么样,也不管父母的财富和等级,每个孩子都有发展潜能的权力,我们已经意识到了这一点,但是在发展权力的同时,伴随而来的是责任,而我们去忽视了后者,故答案应为C。
小题2:A细节理解题。One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.在文中作者列举了两个例子,一个父亲鼓励他的孩子在操场上去和别人打架。一对孩子的父母对一位老师训斥,父母需要担起他们的责任和角色。由此可以看出作者对父母的表现是不满意的,故答案应为A。
小题3:A段落大意题。最后一段的意思为:学校没有能力去改变社会上的一些错误,老师也不能代替父母,双方需要的是合作。父母要重振他们管理孩子的信心,父母有责任为他们孩子的行为设定一定的界限并且去坚持这个界限。他们也有责任去为孩子树立一个好的榜样。为他们的孩子上学学习做好准备。故答案为A。

Tears came into this mother’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son. Every morning, her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep.
Why is he so sleepy? Because, like thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.
School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted as a result.
Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feel most sleepy. “My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.”
However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it.
小题1:Why did the ten-year-old boy’s mother talk about waking up her son with tears in her eyes?
A.Because her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up.
B.Because her son wasn’t good at lessons.
C.Because she thought her son was too lazy.
D.Because her son was badly ill.
小题2:Which is NOT the result of lack of sleep?
A.The body’s weakness.B.Nodding off in class.
C.Near-sighted eyes.D.Poor academic developments.
小题3:How does Li Ming’s mother feel to see him studying late?
A.Sorry.B.Worried.C.Not unhappy.D.Angry.
小题4:Which one is True according to the passage?
A.All the parents hope their children stay up.
B.No students complain about their lack of sleep.
C.Most students watch TV or play computer games deep into night.
D.Some parents are worried about the fact that most of the students don’t have enough sleep.

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work,others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute (分配) his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话).
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained ?10, 000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名) envelopes, each containing ?10, 000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least ?190, 000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of ? 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
“I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
"For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
小题1:The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
A.a churchB.a bankC.a newspaperD.a magazine
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
A.The donation amounted to ?190, 000.

小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A.the donator is a rich old man
B.the donation will continue to come
C.the donation comes from the newspaper
D.the donator will soon be found out

Writer Jean Stafford scoffed, “Happy  people don't need to have fun,” but studies show that the absence of feeling bad isn’t enough to make you feel good;you must try hard to find sources of feeling good. Research shows that regularly having fun is a key factor in having a happy life;people who have fun are 20 times more likely to feel happy.
Recently, I noticed a pattern among activities that people find fun:Have a mission. There’s something about having a playful purpose,of trying to achieve something that makes an activity more fun.
For example a friend told that she loved visiting flea markets(旧货市场)and antique stores to look for old globes-not fancy ones,but cheap ones. She has a rule that she'll never pay more than$20. She’s the kind of person who loves wandering around in those kinds of shops in any case,but having a mission makes it more fun, less aimless.
For that matter,having a collection of any sort is a very popular way to have a mission. You get satisfaction whenever you find another piece of blue sea glass on the beach or another out-of-print book by Charlotte Yonge in an old bookstore.
Taking photos is a common way to incorporate(使并入) a mission into traveling. Not only does this help keep memories vivid, it also makes you more attuned(协调一致)to your environment while traveling. For example,during my most recent visit to New Haven,I had a lot more fun wandering around once I set myself the mission of taking tourist photos of my own romance.
Why is this true? The First Splendid Truth holds that to be happier,you have to think about feeling good and feeling right,in an atmosphere of growth. The more I’ve thought about happiness,the more surprised I’ve been at the importance of the “atmosphere of growth.” I think this is a huge engine of happiness, and when you have a mission, you create an atmosphere of growth whenever you pursue that mission.
Have you found a way to have a mission? What is it and does it boost your happiness?
小题1:. According to the author, happy people____
A.don't need to have fun
B.don't have to be occupied with work
C.can have 20 times more fun than others
D.are always finding sources of feeling good
小题2:. What does the underlined phrase “Having a mission" mean in paragraph 2?
A. Have fun.                               B. Join in an activity.
C. Find something interesting to do.           D: Hunting for a job.
小题3: The author explains the key factor in having a happy life by____.
A.making a comparisonB.presenting numbers
C.stating common senseD.using examples
小题4:. What will be probably the best title?
A.How to live happily
B.Where to look for fun
C.The importance of feeling good
D.Having a mission can make you happier

Many drivers say the large digital billboards flashing ads every few seconds along Bay Area freeways are just too bright and too distracting. And they may be right.
A Swedish study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention concludes that digital billboards hold the gazes of drivers longer than two seconds. Previous studies have shown that anything that takes a driver’s eyes off the road for that length of time increases the risks of a crash. “This study proves what is common sense when it comes to digital billboards,” says Mary Tracy, president of Scenic America, a national nonprofit group that seeks to limit billboards. “Bright, constantly changing signs on the sides of roads are meant to attract and keep the attention of drivers, and this study confirms that this is exactly what they do.”
The Federal Highway Administration allowed digital signs for the first time in 2007 after concluding they did not pose a significant danger. But a follow-up report is pending (待定的) and could be released this year. California has no law banning the billboards, and is one of 39 states that allows them. “We would need to review more research, so it’s too early to call for a ban,” says Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association. “There is a role for digital messaging, such as conveying urgent information and other safety messages.”
There are more than 1,800 digital billboards nationwide, more than double the number five years ago. While no data indicate an increase in accidents due to the Bay Area signs, many drivers are opposed to them.
“Monstrosities” is what Merlin Dorfman of San Jose calls them, while insurance agent David Whitlock says he has found them a major distraction. “They’re much too bright at night,” he says. “When the advertisement switches from a bright color to a darker one, your eyes cannot adjust fast enough, and you end up losing sight of the roadway.”
Officials with sign companies could not be reached for comment, but Bryan Parker, an executive vice president for Clear Channel Outdoor, told USA Today last year that “there’s no doubt in my mind that they are not a driving distraction.”
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The brightness of digital billboards is harmful to people’s eyes.
B.The Federal Highway Administration banned digital signs in 2013.
C.There is evidence indicating an increase in accidents duo to digital billboards.
D.Digital billboards are used to convey messages.
小题2:What do we learn from the text?
A.Scenic America is an organization that is in favor of digital billboards.
B.Drivers in the Bay Area are against the digital billboards.
C.California has banned digital billboards.
D.There were about 1,800 digital billboards nationwide five years ago.
小题3:What is Bryan Parker’s attitude towards digital billboards?
A.Supportive.B.Indifferent.
C.Opposed.D.Uncertain.
小题4:What is the main idea of the text?
A.Studies have shown digital billboards pose a danger to drivers.
B.People’s eyes cannot adjust fast enough to the brightness of digital billboards.
C.A study says flashing digital billboards are too distracting.
D.Experts doubt it is necessary to limit digital billboards.
小题5:We are most likely to find the text in the ________ section of a magazine.
A.international cultureB.traffic and safety

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants居民of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals航空集散站, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities设施as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers下水道to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
小题1: Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?
A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.
B.Building roads and hotels is essential.
C.Support facilities are highly necessary.
D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.
小题2:Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT
A.a bad impact on other industries
B.a change of tourists’ customs
C.over crowded of places of interest
D.pressure on traffic
小题3:Not enough tourism can lead to
A.an increase of unemployment
B.a decrease in tourist attractions
C.the higher cost of support facilities
D.a rise in price and a fall in pay
小题4:It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will
A.use up large amount of water
B.weaken their economy
C.help establish their traditions
D.help improve their life

Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests attending the park. Other sources include parking fees, food and drink sales and souvenirs. Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:
Pay-as-you-go In this form, a guest enters the park at little or no charge. The guest must then buy rides one by one, either at the attraction’s entrance or by buying ride tickets. The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (复杂性) or popularity. The park may allow guests to buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park. A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission.
Disneyland opened in 1955 using the pay-as-you-go form. Initially, guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions. Soon, the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that, while now out of use, is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary. In this new form, guests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets, with “A,” “B” and “C.” Rides and attractions using an “A-ticket” were generally simple, with “B-tickets” and “C-tickets” used for the larger, more popular rides. Later, the “D-ticket” was added, then finally the now-famous “E-ticket,” which was used for the biggest rides, like Space Mountain. Smaller tickets could be traded up for use on larger rides. Disneyland, as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, gave up this practice in 1982.
The advantages include:
guests pay for only what they choose to experience
attraction costs can be changed easily
The disadvantages include:
guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously
guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Attractions of amusement parks
B.Admission fees of amusement parks.
C.Admission principles of amusement parks
D.Sources of income of amusement parks.
小题2:According to the pay-as-you-go principle, guests _____.
A.don’t pay at the gate of the park
B.must pay for each ride they take
C.have to pay for all rides in the park
D.needn’t pay after entering the park
小题3:According to the passage, what is the meaning of the underlined word “Initially” in Paragraph 3?
A.Gradually.B.At the beginning.C.At last.D.Commonly.
小题4:What would be introduced following the passage?
A.The other admission principle
B.Amusement parks’ earnings.
C.Some other admission principles
D.Users of the pay-as-you-go principle.

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the  Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.
小题1:The main purpose of the article is to _____.
A.remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator
B.tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette
C.share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
D.analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
小题2:According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.
A.turn around and greet one another
B.look around or examine their phone
C.make eye contact with those in the elevator
D.try to keep a distance from other people
小题3:Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

小题4:The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.judgeB.ignoreC.put up withD.make the best of
小题5:According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.
A.someone’s odd behaviors
B.the lack of space
C.their unfamiliarity with one another
D.their eye contact with one another

Art theft is an ancient and complicated crime. When you look at some of the most famous cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that involve art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. Here you can read about some of the most famous cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:  
The first documented case of art theft was in 1473, when two panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were stolen. While the triptych was being transported by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was attacked by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is shown at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
The Most Famous Theft:
The most famous story of art theft involves one of the most famous paintings in the world and one of the most famous artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen out of the Louver. Soon after, Pablo Picasso was arrested and questioned by the police, but was released quickly.
It took about two years until the mystery was solved by the Parisian police. It turned out that the 30×21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum employees by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who simply carried it hidden under his coat. Nevertheless, Peruggia did not work alone. The crime was carefully conducted by a notorious con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who intended to make copies and sell them as if they were the original painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was busy creating copies for the famous masterpiece, Mona Lisa was still hidden at Peruggias’ apartment. After two years in which Peruggia did not hear from Chaudron, he tried to make the best out of his stolen good. Eventually, Peruggia was caught by the police while trying to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was returned to the Louver in 1913.
The Biggest Theft in the USA:
The biggest art theft in United States took place at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of thieves wearing police uniforms broke into the museum and took thirteen paintings whose collective value was estimated at around 300 million dollars. The thieves took two paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, as well as a French and a Chinese artifact.
As of yet, none of the paintings have been found and the case is still unsolved. According to recent rumors, the FBI are investigating the possibility that the Boston Mob along with French art dealers are connected to the crime.
小题1: How long did it take to put back the stolen Mona Lisa in Louver ?___
A.Thirty six monthsB.Thirty months
C.Half a year D.Around two years
小题2:What does the underlined sentence, “he tried to make the best out of his stolen good” mean?
A.Chaudron wanted to sell the stolen painting.
B.Peruggia thought he didn’t need to work for Chaudon any more and wanted to market the painting.
C.Valfierno was tired of waiting.
D.Peruggia wanted to study the painting carefully.
小题3: Which case among those mentioned in the passage is still a mystery?
A.Mona Lisa case
B.Last Judgment case
C.Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum thirteen paintings case
D.none
