         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 surveys 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.
    It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been
    counterproductive (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 been spanked.
    There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe's
    research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked. 
         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 punishment.
    1. According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when _____.
    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
    2. According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished _____.
    A. are less aggressive toward others when they get older
    B. have slower physical development
    C. benefit from occasional spanking
    D. may develop lower IQs than their peers
    3. The author seems to agree that ______.
    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 (手段) of any parent

    　　A few years ago, paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that uschool that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student leaming．“I think half of then fell off their chairs,”Gemer says．

    　　Gemer manages scholl facilities(设施)for clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the siae of Massachusetts．By 2018,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system．Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them．Four architecture teans have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品); they plan to consruct their schools xtarting in 2009．The district will then assess how well the xchools perform, and three winners will copy those desiiigns in 50 to 70 new buildings．

    　　Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has dorbts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings．“I don’t believe in the new green religion,”Gemer says．“Gemer says．”Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical．I’m interested in those that work．“But he wouldn’t mind if some green featrues inspire students．He says he hopes to set up green energy systens that allow them to liarn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power．”You never know what’s going to start the interest of achild to study math and science,“he says．

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

    I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

    The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

    And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, sh e said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I  started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

    So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?

    There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

    “What’s the matter?” I asked her.

    “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

    It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.

    “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

    1.  From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

    A. with his family     B. with Evelyn    C. alone      D. with his children

    2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

    A. he was determined to be a good husband

    B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

    C. she looked lovely in  her new clothes

    D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

    3. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

    A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

    B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

    C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

    D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

    4. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.

    A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

    B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

    C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

    D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before
