16．When we talked about the upcoming start of school，Seth hadn′t expressed anything but excitement．So when the sunny and promising"big day"arrived，he was ready．He was armed with a cool haircut，wearing his prized shoes，and was ready for the action．
Ten minutes before the bus was to arrive，he asked me to take him in my car．I complained about it being at the last minute．I said"no"at first．He begged me again and I finally agreed．
In the car，I secretly had a look at him through the rearivew mirror（后視鏡）．He looked sad．"What is the matter，honey？""I am nervous．I don′t know if I will be able to learn everything in the first grade．What if I can′t pay attention in class？"
My heart melted．I remembered being nervous on the first day of school and I thought I was the only student who felt that way．I was a nervous kid full of self-doubt．Seth behaved much better than I did．
We walked into his school together．He remembered where his new classroom was and recognized his teacher from the ice cream social party they had the day before．He sat down at his desk and chatted with a few of his classmates．He took a few photos of them （with a camera phone because I didn′t allow him to bring the real camera） and then he said in a very serious manner，"Mom，you can go home now．I′ll be OK．"And so he was．

21．Seth asked his mother to take him to school probably becauseC．
A．he was afraid to be late for class．
B．he wanted to share his joy with his mother
C．he felt worried about his school life
D．he was frightened of his new teacher
22．What did the writer mean by saying"My heart melted"in Paragraph 4？D
A．She was very angry with her son
B．She felt sad because of her son′s words．
C．She was too weak in the mind to face it．
D．She became more understanding of her son．
23．From the last paragraph we learn thatC．
A．Seth had never seen his new classroom
B．the ice cream social party was to be held soon
C．Seth got along well with his classmates
D．Seth took some photos using a real camera
24．It can be inferred that in the end Seth feltA．
A．relaxed B．frightened C．serious D．worried．

分析 這篇文章主要講了Seth對于第一天上學充滿期待，但是當這一天真正到來時，Seth卻有些害怕，于是讓媽媽開車去送他上學．Seth和他的同學相處得很好，最后Seth感覺很放松了．

解答 CDCA
21．答案是C．細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子Seth對他媽媽說的話"I am nervous．I don′t know if I will be able to learn everything in the first grade．What if I can′t pay attention in class"可見他很緊張，對于未來的學校生活感到擔心，所以答案選C．
22．答案是D．推理判斷題，根據(jù)下文I remembered being nervous on the first day of school and I thought I was the only student who felt that way．Seth的媽媽想起自己第一天上學很緊張，兒子現(xiàn)在和自己當年一樣緊張，可見這句話是對兒子的理解，所以答案選D．
23．答案是C．細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)最后一段的描述兒子和他的幾個同學在聊天，還用一個假的照相機給同學們拍照，還對媽媽說you can go home now．I′ll be OK．可見他與同學們處得很好，所以答案選C．
24．答案是A．推理判斷題，根據(jù)文中最后一句話"you can go home now．I′ll be OK"你回家吧，我很好，可見他是非常放松的，relaxed"放松的"；frightened"感到害怕的"；serious"嚴肅的"；worried"感到焦急的"，所以答案選A．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

6．However important we may regard school life to be，there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom．Therefore，the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher．They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives．
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools．Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program，manuscript writing and developmental mathematics．Moreover，the classroom teacher，with the permission of the supervisors，can also play an important role in enlightening parents．The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year，as well as new ways of reporting pupils'progress，can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home．
To illustrate，suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night．In a friendly interview，the teacher can help the parent sublimate （升華） his natural paternal interest into productive channels．He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget，buying the food，using a standard or measuring cup at home，setting the clock，calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis．
If the father follows the advice，it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics，and at the same time，enjoying the work．Too often，however，teachers'conferences with parents are devoted to petty （不重要的） accounts of children's misdeeds，complaints about laziness and poor work habits，and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home．
What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher，as a professional adviser，plants ideas in parents'minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom．
In this way，the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters'capacities．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14WORDS）

78．Why do parents also have great influence on children？Because their children spend more time with them than with the teacher．
79．Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents？Through informal tea，interviews and reporting pupil's progress．
80．According to the teacher，that parent should let the boyengage in activities that have a mathematical basis if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic．
81．A more creative approach is needed forthe best utilization of the many hoursof children out of classroom．

4．"BANG!"the door caused a reverberation （回聲）．It was just standing there，with father standing on one side，and I on the other side．
    We were both in great anger．"Never set foot in this house again!"stormed father．With tears welling up in my eyes，I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
   The street lights were shining，causing a rather sad feeling．I wandered aimlessly．
     A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree．
      But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes （模式）of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong，he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
    I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on．
      I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？"
    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can't stand his outrageous（蠻橫的）words："I can't throw you away，let alone these old papers？"
      All the lights were off except father's．
     Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
     This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
    The light was still on．"Am I wrong？"I whispered，maybe…With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love-it is second to none．
72．Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage？B
a．I opened the door and entered the house．
b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
d．I thought of my father's kindness towards me．
e．I walked about in the street without any aim．
A．b，e，d，c，a        B．b，e，c，d，a       C．b，e，a，c，d        D．b，e，c，a，d
73．What made the writer think of his childhood？C
A．The sight of the street lights．
B．The sight of the empty street．
C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
D．The sight of light in his own house．
74．Why do you think the father often shouts at his son？D
A．perhaps the father is getting older and older．
B．perhaps the son has already grown up．
C．perhaps they never agree with each other．
D．perhaps the father has got used to doing that．
75．What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage？A
A．The father is actually kind to his son．
B．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．
D．The father is always finding fault with his son．

11．She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever．But，at nearly 500 years of age，time is catching up with the Mona Lisa．
The health of the famous picture，painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505，is getting worse by the year，according to the Louvre Museum （盧浮宮博物館） where it is housed．"The thin，wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago．"the museum said．Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy．Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current （現(xiàn)在的）chemical state．
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year，many attracted by the mystery of her smile．"It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her，she seems to be smiling，and then you look at her and she stops，"said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University．"It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail，but less suited to looking at shadows．Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows．"
However，the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile．Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him，until it was finally sold to France's King Francis I in 1519．
In 1911，the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee，who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat．He said he planned to return it to Italy．The painting was sent back to France two years later．
During World WarⅡ，F(xiàn)rench hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German soldiers．Like many old ladies，the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell．
59．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona LisaB．
A．is losing its value gradually    
B．has been destroyed completely
C．is being damaged after so many years 
D．is getting more valuable with years passing
60．Experts haven't done any repairs on the Mona Lisa becauseD．
A．it is now in a poor chemical state
B．they don't know how to replace the wooden panel
C．they don't have the materials Da Vinci used
D．they are afraid it'll be done further damage
61．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seenA．
A．by direct vision         
B．a(chǎn)t a distance   
C．by indirect vision        
D．in shadows
62．From the last paragraph，we can infer thatC．
A．many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa．
B．people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa．
C．some mysteries remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa．
D．many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa．

8．Because Sue was away on holiday abroad，Mathew was very happy．Expecting all day to relax，he was thinking if he should read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months．"It's a piece of cake，"he said to his wife．"I'll take care of our children，and you can pay a visit to your mother．"
    Things worked well at first，but just after 8 o'clock，his three little"nice children"-Tom，John，and Jack-came downstairs in their night clothes and cried out"Is breakfast ready，daddy．"When food had not come to the table within 30 seconds，John started using his silver spoon on Jack's head as if it were a drum．Jack began to shout loudly in time exactly to the beat（節(jié)拍）．Tom chanted"I cannot find my bread，where is it？"in the background．Mathew realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
    Life was getting worse and worse after their breakfast．Tom wore John's underwear on his head．John shut himself in the bathroom，and at that moment Jack cried out again because he was going to wet his trousers．None of the three could find clean socks，although all the socks were just before their very eyes．Someone named"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Mathew knew the talk show had already started．
    By 10 o'clock，things were much worse，and later even out of control．Jack was just wondering why the fish in the jar didn't eat his bread and butter．Tom was showing off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils．John，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．Mathew realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible．
    At exactly 12：22，Mathew phoned the daycare centre．"All of a sudden I must go into work and my wife not at home．Can I bring my children over in a few minutes？"The answer was obviously"yes"because Mathew was smiling．
