12.When my daughter was in the fifth grade,she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework.It was my duty to help her get it done.One night she worked until midnight doing homework.
I felt annoyed,but I didn't want the teacher to think I was lazy,so I never complained.I wasn't sure,but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century.Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today's world.Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend(趋势) toward more homework.They don't want to stay up until midnight helping their children.They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children.Added to the opposition(反对) are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距) between the rich and the poor,since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework
So,who is right?Is homework an enemy or a help?According to experts the truthlies somewhere in the middle.

B she did not like complaining at all

A they want to develop a good relationship with their children's teachers

C.they want to teach their children by themselves at home
D.they believe more homework will help children succeed in today's society
44.People who are against more homework believe thatA.
A.it hurts the poor more than the rich
B.parents are too  busy to  help  children  with their studies
C.it increases the gap between parents and children
D.homework can't help children learn at all
45.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?C
A.Experts think middle school students should do lots of homework.

2.What does the word"home"mean to you?How do you say the word in French?In Spanish?In your language?Although people usually know what the word means,it often has no exact translation.It's not surprising really,because the idea of home differs from country to country,and from person to person.A home is more than a roof and four walls.It's the cooking,eating,talking,playing and family living that go on inside,which are important as well.And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
But it's not just that homes look different in different countries,they also contain different things and reveal(显示) different attitudes and needs.For example,in cold northern Europe,there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it.In the south,where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out,there are small windows,cool stone floors and often no carpets.We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time.They often move every ten years or so."
Cheryl,Boston,USA
What are typical features of homes in your country?
"In Britain,even in town there's always a garden and sometimes a cellar(地下室).We have separate bedrooms and living rooms.But we don't often have balconies (阳台).The weather isn't warm enough!"
-Pat,Exeter,England
55.Which one is true according to the passage?B
A.People in Britain seldom have balconies because it's so hot outside.
B."Home"is a place where you feel safe and relaxed.
C.Although homes look different in different countries,they have the same needs.
D.Houses in northern Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors.
56.The word"home"has no exact translation becauseC.
A.people can't find this word in the dictionary
B.no one knows what it is
C.it has different meanings in different countries
D.people can't understand each other very well
57.You canB at home according to the passage.
A.eat,play,and teach students     
B.cook,talk,and play games
C.swim,eat,and make friends       
D.do nothing
58.Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?D
A.Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.
B.Because there's a fire in the living room.
C.Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.
D.Because the sun there shines a lot.

4.It was New Year's Night.An aged man was standing at a window.He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky,where the stars were floating like white lilies (百合) on the surface of a clear calm lake.
He had already passed sixty and brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.Now his health was poor,his mind empty,his heart sorrowful (悲伤的).
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him,and he remembered the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful,sunny place,covered with flowers,fruits and filled with soft,sweet songs; the other leading to a deep,dark cave,which was endless,where poison(毒) flowed (流淌) instead of water and devils (魔鬼) and poisonous snakes hissed (发出嘶嘶声) and crawled.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness.These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall down from the sky and disappeared,and this was the symbol of himself.His regret like a sharp arrow struck deeply into his heart.Then he remembered his friends in his childhood.But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents'early love for him.They had taught him and prayed to God for his good.But he chose the wrong way.With shame and sorrow he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived.His darkened eyes were full of tears,and with a hopeless effort,he burst out a cry:"Come back,my early days!Come back!"
His youth did return,for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's Night.He was still young though his faults (过错) were real; he had not yet entered the deep,dark cave,and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still wander (徘徊) on the entrance of life,hesitating  to choose the bright road,remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble (蹒跚) on the dark mountains,you will cry bitterly,but in vain (徒劳地):"Oh youth,return!Oh give me back my early days!"

55.We can learn from the passage that the manD.
A.returned from a long journey and regretted what he had done.
B.was ignored by his parents when he was only a child.
C.didn't enter the deep,dark cave when he was young.
D.found it no use crying over the wrong past.
56.Why does the author set his story on New Year's Night?D
A.He wants to tell people it's time to recall the past.
B.He suggests the aged man will have a bright future.
C.He expects people to share the man's sad feeling.
D.He tries to stress (强调) the man's sad feeling.
57.The aged man in the passage on New Year's Night can be described asB.
A.sorrowful,fearful and regretful.
B.regretful,painful and disappointed.
C.hopeful,sorrowful and peaceful.
D.disappointed,regretful and hopeful.
58.The author writes the passage mainly toA.
A.encourage young people to take the right road.
B.help the old man to pick up his confidence.
C.describe the old man's unsuccessful experience.
D.show his pity for the aged man.
