    9．Every year，I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day：a letter．Something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly．I don't always get my wish，nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother．
         This year，my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day．My mom and dad will be away together，and l'11 be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts．Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children，I am deeply grateful that what separates us，for now at least，is merely distance．It won't always be so，and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is．My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail，and that is enough as I love their words．The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness，the very fact of their busy．full and well-lived lives．
         Still，knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over，I do Feel doleful．The truth is，I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys．And this holiday can be a bit painful．
         I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic （'VTIH WJ） for the passing of my childhood．I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been．I don't often pause to think about it．but of course she is the one who has been right there，at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath．How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am？How to describe even a small part of the sharing．sacrificing．and support she has given me over the years？
    51．The author mainly wants to tell us through the first paragraph thatD．
        A．she hopes to get her son's letters very much
        B．her sons don't often write to her on Mother's Day
        C．Mother's Day is the very date that she longs for most
        D．she is very sorry not to write to her mother often
    52．The author is deeply grateful for the present life becauseB．
        A．her sons don't live far away from her home
        B．her parents and children are still alive
        C．her parents are coming to her house to spend Mother's Day
        D．her sons can please her on Sunday with a phone call
    53．According to the authorC
        A．young people nowadays tend to ignore their parents
        B．parents should not give their children too much freedom
        C．children's happiness and success are the biggest comfort to parents
        D．parents are not the center of their children's universe when children grow up
    54．What does the underlined word"doleful"in paragraph 3 mean？A
         A．sad              B．excited               C．guilty                D．proud
    55．What will the author probably tell about after the last paragraph？B

        B．She'll recall how her mother educated and cared for her．
        C．She'll describe the reunion of her family on Mother's Day．
        D．She'll tell the reader about her mother's achievements in her career．

    55．B  推理判断题．文章最后一段作者主要回忆自己的母亲对自己的教育和照顾，因此下一段可能讲述自己母亲是如何对自己教育和照顾的，故选B．

    14．It's 8：00 a．m．James Butters gives，18-month-old Thomas his milk，then breakfast．After getting Thomas into his outdoor clothes，they head for the park to watch birds and play on the grass．With lunchtime drawing near，they're back home for an afternoon of drawing，playing with cars，or maybe watching some children's programs．
        James isn't Thomas'dad．He is a nanny（保姆）-a man nanny obviously，humorously  termed a"manny"-specially trained and in his third nannying position．At 27，he cares for  Thomas，and another boy of a simliar age．"It's much freer than an office job，"he says，"and you're getting to see children develop and grow．You become very close to them，for  sure．I don't think I'm special or better than a woman nanny； everyone has their own ap-proach．But I'm unusual．Friends laughed when I started studying nursery nursing．In my  class，I was the only man among 70 women．Somehow，I made it，"he said．
        Although it's not yet common to find men in traditional nannying courses，things are  changing．In the United States，parents are employing young mannies，sometimes to care  for babies，but more often as active role models to get their children away from the TV and  the computer．From rollerblading（轮滑）friends to summer swimming mannies，these are the big brothers who are always willing to play，largely because they're paid for it．It is  catching on here in Britain，too．Earlier this year，Norland Nanny College welcomed its  first full-time man student，19-year-old Peter Cummins in Wales．While some families find   it difficult to accept the idea of a young man in a traditional nannying role，man nannies are  increasingly popular．
    51．What is the author trying to tell us in the first paragraph？C
    A．James Butters and his 18-month-old son．
    B．How to get small children close to you．
    C．James Butters'typical day as a nanny．
    D．Proper ways to look after children．
    52．What can we learn from the second paragraph？D
    A．James Butters is a new nanny with no experience．
    B．James Butters is looking after 3 children at present．
    C．James Butters is better at looking after children than women．
    D．James Butters is a man with courage and determination．
    53．Why are young mannies becoming popular in the United States？B
    A．They are good at playing computer games．
    B．They can get boys in more healthy activities．
    C．They are better trained than women for their jobs．
    D．They can protect the boys like big brothers．
    54．Who's going to become a new man nanny soon？D
    A．James Butters    B．Thomas    C．Norland  D．PeterCummins
    55．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A
    A．A New Profession for Men    B．Changes in Tradition
    C．Mannies and Nannies        D．Babies and Their Mannies．

    F．educational G．opinions H．matters I．related J．representativesK．symbolization

    It is important that students'feelings，opinions and suggestions are listened to，taken into account，and that the right action is taken．There are a number of ways that this can be （41）A，i．e．school councils，year councils and peer mentoring．
    School councils
    Most schools have a school council which exists to let the teachers and head teacher know what students'（42）Gare on a range of school issues．The school council usually consists of two or three elected （43）Jfrom each year group．
    A school council might meet once or twice a month to discuss issues such as the dress （44）D，the use of social areas，charity fundraising and bullying．
    Year councils
    Because school councils are sometimes（45）Eby older students，some schools have introduced year councils．The aim of a year council is to give students the opportunity to express opinions on （46）Hof importance to that particular year group．The following is an example of the rules relating to a school's council for year 8 （pupils aged 12-13）．
    The head of year will attend all council meetings as an observer and both they and the other year staff will be （47）Cas required to offer support and advice to council members and to assist in the settlement of arguments．
    Peer mentoring
    There are other ways in which students'voices can be heard．One of the most popular schemes involves peer mentoring．Those who express an interest receive training to become mentors （导师） so that they are better equipped to help others．This starts from primary school age，when the mentors may get involved in issues （48）Ito conflict resolution．At secondary school and at university，mentors are likely to deal with a larger variety of issues，such as （49）Fand health-related matters．
    The belief in schemes like these is that being heard by your peers can be more effective and helpful as fellow students may have more time and understanding than teachers or others in （50）B．

    8．根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项． 选项中有一项为多余选项．
    A．Adults keep pets with their children．
    B．Pet-keeping has a very long history．
    C．Pet-keeping may do harm to animals．
    D．People keeps pets for their aesthetic need．
    E．Caged pets become increasingly popular．
    F．Pet-keeping is helpful for children's growth．
    61．BPet-keeping is a time-honored tradition．One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness．While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards，the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative（利用的）．
    62．DWe keep animals as pets because they are attractive．We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic（审美的）value，and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture．Keeping pets is one form of this urge．A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object．Pets are playful animals and they amuse us．A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs．
    63．FMany parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children．Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility．Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature's life．It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal．There are psychological benefits for children．Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely．Pets are excellent companions．Keeping pets means giving love and being loved．We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return．We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior．
    64．EAs more people move into apartments，there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys．Therefore，caged animals have increased in popularity．Birds fall into this group．We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers．Fish-keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle．The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation（居住地） without requiring its own cage．They are wonderful hunters，if there are rats around．
    65．CPets satisfy man's desire to care for a bit of nature．The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides．Pets are amusing and entertaining，but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment．Are we not enslaving（奴役）them？

    9．"Grandma，Grandma，tell us a story!"Four darling children sat by my feet，looking up at me expectantly．Suddenly，we were interrupted by clapping．"Terrific，"the director said，stepping up the stage from the aisle（过道）．"Except，could you kids face the audience a bit more？"
          The kids shifted to face the empty seats，which would be filled in a few days for the church play．"Perfect，"the director said．"Now，Grandma，read to your grandchildren．"A pan of sadness hit me．If only I could read to my real grandchild!
           I had a granddaughter，but I'd never met her．Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly．But out of it came a blessing：a baby girl named Lena．I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth，the mother moved without any address left．Over the years，I asked around town to try to find my son's ex-wife，but it seemed that she didn't want to be found．
           I'd just joined this new church a week earlier and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play．At least now I could pretend to be a grandma．The rehearsals went well，and finally the day of the show arrived．The performance was great．"You all looked so natural up there，"one of my friends said．
    Afterward，I walked over to one of the girls in the play．"How's my granddaughter？"I joked．
    "Fine!"she answered．Just then，someone else walked up and asked the girl her name．
    I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly．But it made me ask her another question．"What's your mother's name？"
    She told me，but I was still in shock．"And what's your father's name？"I asked．She told me．It was my son．
    She'd only started going to that church a week before I did．Since that day of the play，we've stayed close． Not long ago，she even made me a great grandma．
    51．What was the author doing at the beginning of the story？C
    A．Telling a story．                 B．Playing a game．
    C．Preparing for a play．            D．Acting in a movie．
    52．Why did the writer feel sad when he heard the director's words？B
    A．Because the words were quite out of place．
    B．Because the words make her think of her lost grandchild．
    C．Because her performance did not satisfy the director．
    D．Because the writer's real granddaughter was in the play．
    53．What happened in the church after the play？C
    A．The author played a joke on Lena．
    B．Lena treated the author as a friend．
    C．The author got to know who Lena was．

    A．time and events              B．contrast and conclusion
    C．cause and effect              D．questions and answers
    55．We can infer that when writing the story，the author feltA．
    A．happy          B．worried        C．confused          D．anxious．
