Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.

1.What is the text mainly about?

   A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

   B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

   C. The happy life of two families.

   D. The basic needs of children.

2.Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.

   A. happy        B. curious        C. regretful        D. friendly

3.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

   A. The daughter acts like a leader.         B. Sam holds her hand more often.

   C. The boys become better followers.      D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

4.The author seems to believe that ___________.

   A. having brothers and sisters is fun

   B. it’s tiring to look after three children

   C. every child needs parents’ full attention

   D. parents should watch others’ children

第二节：Tedy、Rusial、Mr Green、Tim 和Ms Denis 要参观博物馆,第61-65题是他们的个人情况介绍。阅读下面六家英国博物馆的简介（A、B、C、D、E和F）,选出符合个人需要的最佳选项,并在答案纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

61. Tedy, a young official who is quite interested in photo-taking and sculpture. He spends all his spare time doing his favorite things.

62. Rusial, a beautiful lady with a fair hair, who gives painting lectures to the students in a college. She herself is a super fan of such artists as Da Vinci, Micheangelo, Raphael.

63. Mr. Green, a free careerist, makes a living by writing short plays which mostly tell the history of Great Britain. Besides, he is also a heavy coffee drinker.

64. Tim, 18 years old, a pre-engineering boy student, full of energy and rich in imagination.

65. Ms Denis, a wildlife lover. She takes an active part in protecting the earth and enjoys herself by doing sports.

 

A. Explore the natural history of the planet Earth from the prehistoric era to the present day at one of London’s most visited museums. In 1881, the Natural History Museum moved to its present venue. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, this building is now one of London’s most beautiful and most recognized. These holy halls now house more than 300 years’ worth of collections, with over 68 million specimens(标本). Broadly divided into Life and Earth galleries.

 

B. The British Museum is one of London’s top tourist attractions as well as being a major scholarly resource and Royal history. Its collection was given to the nation in 1753 and the Museum’s distinctive Greek revivalist structure was built during the 19th Century. The collection expanded massively during the hey-day（全盛期）of the British Empire. And if you haven’t got time for a proper visit, drop in for a coffee at the lovely Court Restaurant. Admission: free.

 

C. This magnificent Georgian edifice, found on the northern side of Trafalgar Square, houses a massive collection of Western European art. Designer Marc Newson presents two new exhibitions to his gallery. The National Gallery, shows the development of the artists. This exhibition traces the rise of the Italian Renaissance artist, and gathers more than 100 pieces of his collection.

 

D. There are mausoleums, catacombs and richly decorated tombs of outstanding writers, politicians and artists in the overgrown west section of this woodland graveyard. Celebrity dead bodies include Karl Marx, Michael Faraday and Christina Rossetti. Be aware that you must purchase a photography license in order to take photographs within the cemetery. Take advantage of the special guided tours.

 

E. The Science Museum’s seven floors offer opportunities to explore the history of technology as well as to glimpse the future. Setting off from Launchpad, where you can get to grips with the laws of science, you can move on to a vast display of interactive galleries which demand audience participation—whether it be of the hands-on or brain-stimulating kind. From medical history to nuclear physics, it’s all covered. Challenging the idea amongst many children that science is boring, various things to press, touch, watch and think about make this museum a firm favourite with the kids.

 

F. Mainly a decorative arts museum, the V&A is a comprehensive collection of everything from sculpture to photographs, from Chinese art to art decor. Among others, the V&A houses the recently redecorated Raphael Gallery, home to seven tapestry cartoons by Raphael that are among Britain’s greatest art treasures and part of the Royal Collection. There is a lot to see from the Becket Casket to the Canon photography.
